On May 28, 1998, Brynn Hartman murdered her husband, comic Phil Hartmanknown for his work on such popular TV shows as Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons and News Radiobefore killing herself. She had been taking a prescribed antidepressant that she mixed with alcohol and cocaine. A 1999 lawsuit alleged that Los Angeles psychiatrist Arthur Sorosky had given Mrs. Hartman samples of the antidepressant, which she told friends made her feel "like she was going to jump out of her skin." She contacted the psychiatrist four days before the shooting-he suggested she cut the dosage in half.
