Hapgood is facing a manslaughter charge regarding the death of a man who the family says attacked Hapgood in his hotel, forcing him to defend himself and his family. A revised autopsy report, based on new toxicology tests, determined the man died from a lethal dose of cocaine and not from injuries he sustained in the fight. U.S. Sen.

  • U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., speaks at the podium beside Darien man Scott Hapgood, left, and his wife, Kallie Hapgood, at Town Hall in Darien, Conn. Monday, Oct. 28, 2019 as the town shows support for Scott Hapgood in his manslaughter charge from a family vacation in Anguilla. Hapgood is facing a manslaughter charge regarding the death of a man who the family says attacked Hapgood in his hotel, forcing him to defend himself and his family. A revised autopsy report, based on new toxicology tests, determined the man died from a lethal dose of cocaine and not from injuries he sustained in the fight. U.S. Sen. Blumenthal, Darien First Selectman Jayme Stevenson, and friends and family are asking for a fair and transparent trial, as well as guaranteed safe passage, as Hapgood returns to Anguilla to face charges.
