According to Southampton Village police, on Nov. 16, 2011, Seyrig De Saussure abandoned a chemical suicide attempt and drove himself to Southampton Hospital, where his chemical mixture initiated a HazMat team response outside the emergency room. A month later, he was charged with placing a false bomb or hazardous substance in the first degree, a felony.
Newsday reported Monday that Seyrig de Saussure pleaded guilty, received a suspended sentence and his case was transfered to a mental health court, according to his attorney, Edward Burke Jr., of Southampton. Burke told Newsday that Seyrig de Saussure was doing well and close to his graduation date.
