Abstract (Document Summary)

The suit filed Friday in Van Nuys Superior Court also seeks unspecified damages against Eli Lilly & Co., the maker of the controversial antidepressant Prozac, claiming that Victoria Howden's use of the drug contributed to her June 10 murder of the children's father, Charles House, and her suicide minutes later.

The suit claims that Prozac contributed to Howden's "increasingly agitated state" in the months before her death and that [Charles Charuvastra] was negligent in failing to report the theft of his gun, especially since he knew Howden was emotionally unstable and using prescription drugs.

A day after [Ronald Webb]'s body was found, Ventura County sheriff's deputies arrested Howden at the officer's ex-wife's home, where Howden was brandishing a gun and threatening suicide.
