Daily News | Slade McLaughlin, a ‘larger-than-life’ high-profile trial attorney, dies at 65
Slade McLaughlin, 65, a Philadelphia personal injury attorney who built a stellar career representing clients in legal battles against the likes of Pennsylvania State University and its disgraced former assistant football coach, Jerry Sandusky, as well as the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, died by suicide, Sunday, April 3, near his home.
Mr. McLaughlin had been suffering under the weight of an increased workload with the waning of COVID-19 restrictions, said his son Brandon McLaughlin, a Boston-based attorney. Within the last month or so, he was anxious, wasn’t eating, and had lost 30 pounds, his son said. Born at Chestnut Hill Hospital and raised in Cherry Hill, Mr. McLaughlin graduated from Ursinus College in 1979, then attended Villanova University School of Law, where he graduated in 1982.
