Marcia Maglisco

A Connecticut grandmother who hanged herself days after claiming to have drowned her grandson in a bathtub told 911 dispatchers that she was psychotic and wanted the police to shoot her, according to a transcript of the call. Aidan Blake Halter, 2, drowned in a bathtub in his home in Foxbridge, Conn., Friday, October 5, 2007, while his grandmother, 62-year-old Marcia Maglisco, was babysitting. Maglisco said during the call that the toddler slipped and hit his head during the bath, and that instead of helping him, she left him under the water.

After repeatedly telling the dispatcher that her grandson was "deceased" and could not be saved, Maglisco described the events surrounding the boy's death. "I'm psychotic...he was in the tub, he slipped, he banged his head and I just left him," she said. "I want the police to shoot me, if they could."
