This has been a tragic few weeks of
reporting. My heart goes out to family and friends of all 3 doctors who
were found dead these past few weeks.
Less than 2 weeks ago the first doctor, a controversial Autism researcher loved by his patients, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet MD, was found in a river with a gunshot wound to his chest. He
leaves behind a beautiful wife and children. His friends and family
started a memorial page on June 20th in his honor on Facebook. I waited 3
days after that to report the story out of respect. A few still write
that I shouldn’t cover these stories, but I am a journalist, and as
I’ve repeatedly said, it brought me no joy to report the news. I waited
until all were covered by mainstream news and or funeral sites. Dr.
Bradstreet had lived just 45 minutes from us here in Florida before
moving to the neighboring state of Georgia. I also have been with a
prominent well known doctor for the last 6 years so this concerns me.
Several high profile MD’s have contacted me these last 2 weeks who are
also concerned and mourn the loss of their colleagues.
