A Beacon Falls man who police said called 911 to report he’d “lost his mind” and killed his wife made his first appearance in Milford Superior Court Monday where the public defender’s office was assigned to represent him.

Adam Drozdowski, 44, is charged with murder in the death of Naeisha Drozdowski, a beloved employee at Brewport in Bridgeport.

Brewport’s Facebook page posted a tribute to her, writing, "It is with our deepest sorrow that we confirm that Brewport's own Naiesha was taken from us by her husband."

Connecticut State Police said Adam Drozdowski killed his wife around midnight Tuesday inside their home on Second Street, then about 12 hours later, called 911 and confessed.

According to the police report, he told 911 he "lost his mind,” and he hit his wife on the head with a metal object. He also said he believed his wife was a serpent, according to the report. An autopsy on Naeisha Drozdowski confirmed she died from blunt impact injury to the head as a result of a homicide, the report said. It didn't specify the weapon used against her. Police also took a DNA sample from the suspect, his clothing and photographs of his body, per the report.

Adam Drosdowski was arraigned in Derby Superior Court last week, where his bond was set at $2 million and the case was transferred to Milford Superior Court, where the most serious cases in the judicial district are tried.

During Monday’s brief appearance, the public defender's office requested he get medical and mental health treatment and be put on suicide watch while in jail. He was given a next court date of June 23.

Drozdowski has no prior convictions but does have one pending case. According to court records, Drozdowski was charged with interfering with police and illegally injuring a peace officer's animal after police were called to his home on New Year’s Eve.

Brewport's post asked people not to mourn Naeisha Drozdowski's death, but to celebrate her life.

"I choose to remember her laughter and her brilliant smile, her strength of character and unbending willingness to help others. I ask each and every one of you to think of some joyous memory and share it with someone else. Because no one is truly gone if we keep their memories alive," Brewport wrote.
