The Connecticut Department of Public Health has reopened its probe into the 2018 suicide of a patient who overdosed on malaria pills at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan.
Leo Civitillo killed himself in February 2018.
Due to privacy concerns, hospital officials did not acknowledge that Civitillo was ever a patient.
An investigation by the Hartford Courant questions concerns in the hospital’s initial report and the health department’s delay in responding.
The patient’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Silver Hill Hospital.
