July 6th, 2025 - Briarcliff Manor, NY
Age 53

Elizabeth Weinstein was found dead in a hotel after years of dealing with a long, strenuous legal battle with her former husband, a lawyer with connections in the judiciary.  

When Elizabeth asked her husband for a divorce, she claimed he created false medical documentation and tried to commit her to a psychiatric institution. In addition, he tried to get her arrested and taken into custody, but worst of all, he extracted her from her three children’s lives and exposed her to years of emotional and physical abuse. 

The courts were not on Lizzie’s side as she navigated the complexities of fighting back against false documentation and attempting to regain custody of her children, which never happened. Her husband allegedly used the courts to permanently alienate Lizzie from her children. She was placed into guardianship so she has no access to marital or personal funds, even though she was of completely sound mind, and then falsely arrested for breaking a so-called order of protection, and then held in jail for weeks and then involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility in Rockland County, NY. All because she was not staying quiet about the abuse she had witnessed. 

Lizzie will be remembered as a nurse, an advocate for women dealing with the broken court system, but most importantly, a mother.  For anyone who knew her, can attest that she was a force to be reckoned with.

There are many questions to how Lizzie died and if any foul play was involved. Investigation into Elizabeth’s death is ongoing and we pray that answers are given is due course.

We’ll miss you Lizzie.
