The family of Christopher Lapp claimed the scientist would still be alive if his medication was not discontinued and he was not denied admission to a federal medical prison.
The family of a nuclear physicist who committed suicide while locked up in a Virginia jail cell is suing the US Government, claiming the scientist would still be alive if his medication was not discontinued and he was not denied admission to a federal medical prison.
Lapp was being held at the Alexandria jail awaiting his sentencing for federal bank robbery charge when he hanged himself in May, 2001, even though a judge had ordered that he be moved to the federal medical prison center in North Carolina to continue receiving treatment for his mental health.Lapp had multiple degrees, including a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His father, Ralph Lapp, was a renowned scientist who worked on the Manhattan project.
Prosecutors alleged that Lapp had multiple romantic interests, including a Playboy model, and that “he was working to keep his romantic love interests happy with additional money.”
