Lawsuit Claims Suicide Was Prompted by Federal Prosecutor’s Relentless Threats
The wife of a man who was under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Food and Drug Administration committed suicide after being threatened with prosecution if she didn’t incriminate her husband in the investigation.
Aaron Danzig, former federal prosecutor told her that he would prosecute her for selling a 2003 Mercedes that the government had targeted for seizure if she didn’t provide the documents he wanted to use in prosecuting her husband. She claimed she traded the vehicle for a new one because it required so many costly repairs, not to avoid the seizure. Danzig was relentless in his efforts to pressure her to cooperate.
The wife and mother of a one-year-old daughter left a suicide note that read, “I hope Aaron Danzig feels some kind of remorse. I blame him for my struggles with wanting to live.” Terrified of being imprisoned, she shot herself in the head. Danzig resigned his job after the woman’s suicide.
Her now three-year-old daughter’s caretaker filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Danzig on behalf of the child claiming that excessive pressure was used to coerce and intimidate the victim. This case is only one possible example of a wrongful death.
