Wrongful Death Suit in Marine Suicide Filed by Family Against the VA

The Boston Globe reported in an article published this week that the family of Jeff Lucey, a Marine corporal who sought and was denied psychiatric care at the VA in Massachusetts, and later killed himself, has filed a wrongful death suit against the VA.  Jeff Lucey (pictured here with his parents, in a screen grab from NECN) is one of the subjects profiled in the excellent documentary aired on New England Cable News ("NECN") a while back, called Hidden Wounds, also featuring Nate Fick.  On April 6, 2007, NECN also aired a video discussion with Lucey's parents, around the topic of "Is There Adequate Medical Care for Veterans?"  (I think we know the answer to that one...)  Check out the NECN archives for information about that story.
