Samantha Siano was last seen on Sept. 2. Two days later, her body, which had begun to decompose, was found in a residence hall bathroom at the Brattleboro Retreat, the state’s largest psychiatric hospital.
Siano died of a drug overdose. The Vermont Medical Examiner and local police determined last week that the 36-year-old former social worker from Exeter, N.H., had committed suicide.
