IU School of Medicine program director emeritus identified as victim of northwest-side homicide

AAEM President and Indiana PD. Hard to believe. No details on what happened yet. Wife apparently found him dead from traumatic injuries in his home.

 

[GeneralVeers]

Crazy. I remember doing my EM clerkship with him at IU in 2004.

 

[southerndoc]

Wow. Wonder if it was a home invasion or patient related.

 

[surely]

Most likely the wife

Yikes. That kind of speculation is insensitive and not helpful.

Follow-up edit: Home invasion/burglary gone wrong, couple of teenagers have been charged: Teen charged in murder of Dr. Kevin Rodgers makes first court appearance

Most likely the wife

completely inappropriate and not necessary. nicest family here at IU

 

[RustedFox]

It may very well be the wife. You guys don't know.

 

[Angry Birds]

Most likely the wife

I think it was professor plumb in the library with the wrench.

I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that members of that residency or potentially even the victim's family could someday see this thread. If I found out my program director had been brutally murdered I guess I would probably want the community reaction to be "sorry to hear that" rather than "maybe his newly widowed wife killed him." It's nice when we all pretend to be human for a few seconds

My condolences to anyone who knew Dr Rogers. I did not.

That being said, law enforcement seems to be holding most details close to the vest as per usual, during the early stages of an investigation. One article I saw said it was a robbery.

Sad.

 

[alpinism]

Very sad.

Met him a few times at AAEM as a med student.

Great guy who helped make the IU EM program what it is today.

Condolences to those who were closest to him and to all that knew him. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Dr. Rodgers for your contributions to the lives of emergency physicians and patients everywhere.

Jesus, people, have some respect. Some of these posts were in really poor taste.

The link above is to a reddit post of someone reporting to be the neighbor. Although nothing he said has been verified, his account sounds believable. This is absolutely tragic.

This is why I, and I insist my wife and kids also, lock all our doors even during the day time, in my uppity, gated community. Home alarm on always at night, and daytime, when gone. It’s also why I keep a loaded Sig Sauer 45 in a quick-access fingerprint safe, in a drawer next to my bed.

Here’s another reason. Physician home, gated community, daytime horror-robbery:

“When Horror Came to a Connecticut Family” When Horror Came to a Connecticut Family

Self defense: Learn how to do it. Be ready to do it, when you least expect to need to.

9mm here, but really good advice.

 

[Angry Birds]

I apologize for my joke. Condolences. Sorry for being crass.

I have a 9, too. Lol

Also a great caliber

Alarm and lights on all the time, doors locked all the time, and a Glock 19 at the bedside.

Installing cameras next week (Arlo cameras).

 

[RustedFox]

Doors locked at all times.
Electronic security/monitoring system.
Lights on all the time after dark.
.16 gauge shotgun at bedside. (you don't have to aim it; you just point it!)

It is. Have a Beretta M9 and CX4 that I can swap mags back and forth in. Amazing platform.
