Plaintiff,
v.
Defendants.
N 84 497 (JAC)
STATE OF CONNECTICUT
SS
It is my opinion that defendants had every reason to know, prior to the death
of Jack Slee, that their training was likely to cause emotional distress, stress,
adverse changes in the autonomic nervous system and both psychological
and physiological harm.
While it was not possible to predict the exact occurrence of the death of Jack
Slee, his death was within the range of foreseeable harm that could likely
result from the est training. Viewing the events in retrospect, it is my opinion
that the death of Jack Slee was caused by the est training.
