How did the tragedy happen on America's Thanksgiving Day?

The tragic Thanksgiving incident has highlighted the potential for tension in shared living situations, particularly during festive periods when expectations and stress levels are heightened. The local community remains in shock over the news of this unfortunate event.

Reports indicate that the argument between Lombardi and his roommate escalated when Lombardi voiced his displeasure at his roommate's presence in the kitchen. Lombardi allegedly didn't want his roommate touching the food, citing frequent sneezing as a hygiene concern during the meal preparation.

“Grabbed his back and threw Mr. Griswold to the right, tossing him to the side,” prosecutor Joseph Presley told the judge overseeing the case, according to a courtroom report by Nashua, New Hampshire-based NBC affiliate WBTS, which serves as the Boston local for the network. “The defendant did surmise that Mr. Griswold’s feet got tangled up and that he fell and hit his head on the floor.”

The situation quickly escalated, leading to a physical altercation that resulted in the death of the octogenarian. Authorities were notified and, upon arrival, found the victim with severe injuries. Lombardi was arrested at the scene and taken to jail, where he remains awaiting trial.
