some snippets:

>According to his Toronto lawyer, Daniel Brodsky, Rosato was arrested
after repeatedly complaining to police that, in a scenario reminiscent
of the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the actor's wife and their
infant daughter had gone missing, having been replaced by imposters.

>Brodsky explains that the Crown's expert prison psychiatrist, Dr.
Duncan Scott, has told him and the Crown "that Tony Rosato is
certifiable." Scott's diagnosis, says Brodsky, is a mental illness
called Capgras syndrome.

>Named for its discoverer, French psychiatrist Jean Marie Joseph
Capgras, the syndrome is characterized by the delusion that a person
or people have been replaced by doubles or impostors. The rare
condition is most commonly associated with schizophrenia, but
according to Dr. Graham Glancy, a forensic psychiatrist with Metro
West Detention Centre and Maplehurst Correctional Complex, it can also
be caused by metabolic diseases, delirium, brain injury or drugs such
as cocaine.
