Yes the doc is still alive. I had been trying to reach him to see if there were any records, but he had no number published, only an address. So I went personally to his door to request the records. He said, "who was your dad" and I told him his name. He replied, "Ohhh! How is he doing these days?" He had no recollection of him. The funny thing is, though, that my dad was one of his main patients. And the morning my dad died, my mother called him first (BEFORE she called an ambulance). Not only did she not call for ambulance until later in the morning, but the doctor actually came to our home that morning at 5:15 am. He pronounced him dead, and next to his signature on the autopsy he put in perentheses "(found)" meaning the obvious. The doctor was there at our home an entire hour prior to making a call for an ambulance to come. I have not a clue in the entire world why my mother chose to call the doc first, and why she listened when he told her not to do anything until he got there. All of it is so suspicious to me.
(and to answer your question, it was indeed an overdose. not his first time to try at that point either. he had a 5 year old, 11 year old son, and 16 year old daughter. I just dont know why this happened. I am devastated over the entire situation, but I am desperate for answers and to understand everything that happened. )
