Michael Gallagher. More than a year after admitting to killing his mother, Michael Gallagher is trying to get her life insurance. Gallagher’s mother, Patricia Gallagher, listed her son as the primary beneficiary of her life insurance policy for about $3,600. In the weeks leading up to Christmas in 2015, Gallagher became “increasingly delusional, obsessive, depressed, hopeless, and frantic,” according to court records. Since he “didn’t have the resources” to find alternative housing for his mother, he decided to “spare her the pain of the eviction.”“It was an impossible situation,” he said, according to court records.
