Nashville, TN (TLS). Erin McLean, the 30-year-old married mother of two whose affair with an 18-year-old high school student that ended in the student's murder at the hands of McLean's husband, has attempted suicide.
According to emergency 911 records in Nashville, a call was placed to 911 on the evening of March 15, summoning paramedics to the home of relatives where Erin and her children were staying after the murder in Knoxville.
Relatives state that apparently Erin attempted suicide by taking an overdose. The incident occurred a mere five days after Erin's husband fatally shot 18-year-old Sean Powell, with whom Erin was having an affair.
Erin McLean had met Powell while doing a teaching internship at West High School in Knoxville as part of a graduate program in education at the University of Tennessee.
On Monday of this week, March 19, officials at the University of Tennessee stated that Erin McLean had been placed on indefinite leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into violations of university policy.
It is unclear as to whether or not Erin McLean was admitted to a medical facility following the suicide attempt. Relatives declined to provide further information, and medical facilities are under strict confidentiality guidelines with regard to patients.
