Following his diagnosis, Nick was prescribed medication to manage his condition. However, a month before the tragic events, Nick expressed concerns about weight gain, a common side effect of the medication. Subsequently, his doctors adjusted his medication, leading to a destabilization of his mental state.
The change in medication caused Nick to exhibit erratic and dangerous behavior, culminating in the heartbreaking loss of his parents. Despite his alarming behavior, Nick’s parents and medical professionals struggled to intervene effectively, ultimately leading to the devastating outcome.

At the time of the tragedy, Nick was experiencing a severe detachment from reality. Plans to plead not guilty by reason of insanity were discussed, hinting at the complex psychological state that led to the horrific events.
Despite the legal proceedings, sources reveal that Nick is currently deemed incompetent to stand trial. He remains incarcerated, grappling with the knowledge of his actions while harboring delusions of a conspiracy against him.
