A Texas community is mourning the loss of a beloved pediatrician who was killed by another doctor in an apparent murder-suicide at her clinic on Tuesday night.
Lindley Dodson, MD, was only 43 years old and mother to three children -- ages 5, 7, and 11 -- when she was murdered by Bharat Narumanchi, MD, at Children's Medical Group in Austin.
Narumanchi, also 43 years old and also a pediatrician, reportedly said he had terminal cancer, though his motivation for the killing remains a mystery. It was not apparent that he knew Dodson prior to asking for a job at the clinic a few days before Tuesday's tragedy.
