WESTFIELD – On Tuesday, a request for a further pre-trial date for Seth Lombard-Hawthorne was granted by Westfield District Court Judge Philip Contant. Lombard-Hawthorne is now due back in court on April 15.
Lombard-Hawthorne was also told to take care of the $150 court fee for his court-appointed attorney Kathleen Cavanaugh before that date. Lombard-Hawthorne has been charged with distribution of Class A drug and possession of Class A drug, in connection with the death of Westfield High School 11th grader Lillian (Lily) Anderson, 16.
“Pending an autopsy, the Commonwealth is contemplating an additional charge of manslaughter based on a series of events, circumstances and facts leading up to the death of this young lady and (pending) post-death investigation by Westfield police and Mass State Police,” Assistant District Attorney Edward Kivari told Judge Contant at an earlier hearing.
To date, no further charges have been filed.
