Former Boston Pediatrician Facing Abuse and Malpractice Charges, Commits Suicide
Dr. Melvin Levin, accused of multiple cases of sexual abuse involving his patients as well as medical malpractice, killed himself earlier this month. I had posted a blog about the medical malpractice case a week or so ago. At that time, the Boston Globe had run a story on the lawsuit which involved allegations of sexual abuse as well as medical malpractice against Dr. Levine.
According to the Boston Herald, "The state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill said Monday that 71-year-old Melvin Levine committed suicide earlier this month. Levine was found near his home in Rougemont, about 40 miles north of Raleigh."
It's not clear if the suicide is related to the medical malpractice lawsuit.
