A wrongful death and survival action were filed on behalf of Sean McIlmail today against the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Monsignor William Lynn and the decedent’s perpetrator, Fr. Robert L. Brennan, because of the sexual abuse Mr. McIlmail endured while a student and parishoner at Resurrection of Our Lord Parish in Philadelphia. Mr. McIlmail died of a drug overdue on October 13, 2013 and was found in his car in the Kensington section of the city. The suit alleges that the Archdiocese and its top officials were aware of Fr. Brennan’s past criminal sexual assaults of children and failed to take action, allowing others like Sean McIlmail to be sexually abused as children.Legal Intelligencer Art re AOP Sued over Death
