   OH Podiatrist is Apparent Suicide Victim

   The death of a man whose body was found in his car Friday morning behind the former Big Lots building was caused by what is believed to have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Huron County coroner.

   The body of Dr. James Revelas, a Norwalk podiatrist, was discovered in a parked car by a man who was doing work at the site. The body had a gunshot wound to the chest.

   Coroner Dr. Jeffrey Harwood said there were no signs of foul play and that all the evidence suggests Revelas’ death was a suicide. Revelas was a virtuoso violinist and was a former member of the Youngstown Symphony, the Bellevue Symphony, and the Heidelberg Orchestra.

   Dr. Marcinko – I really didn’t believe all the ME-Ps on doctor suicide, until now.

   Terminally Ill Doc Becomes Assisted Suicide Advocate

   Dr. Richard Wesley has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the incurable disease that lays waste to muscles while leaving the mind intact.

   He lives with the knowledge that an untimely death is chasing him down, but takes solace in knowing that he can decide exactly when, where and how he will die.

    Health Plans Must Cover Suicide Related Costs But Many Refuse

    Dealing with the aftermath of a suicide or attempted suicide is stressful enough. But, some health plans make a harrowing experience worse by refusing to cover medical costs for injuries that are related to suicide-even though experts say that in many cases such exclusions aren’t permitted under federal law.

    And, patients or their loved ones are often left unaware.
