Florida Doctor Accused of Sexual Assaulting Patients Found Dead With Gunshot Wound To The Head
Doctor Eric Salata found dead in a ditch with gunshot wound to the head shortly after third women accuses him of rape. Police say death is not suspicious.



A Florida doctor accused of sexually assaulting at least two of his patients after giving them laughing gas, Xanax and tequila has died.

Eric Andrew Salata, 54, was discovered in a ditch near his home in Naples with a gunshot wound to the head and a handgun next to his leg, ABC affiliate WZVN reported. He reportedly left two notes, his wedding ring and credit cards at his home.

Deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office were asked to do a welfare check after no movement was detected Salata’s ankle monitor for eight hours, according to WZVN.

The Collier County Sheriff’s office said his death is not considered suspicious, but authorities are waiting for the autopsy report before ruling it a suicide, according to multiple local media outlets.

Salata was arrested on Nov. 21 after two women — ages 51 and 72 — said they were sexually assaulted while undergoing cosmetic medical treatments at the Pura Vida Medical Spa, according to a press release from the Naples Police Department. He was charged with two counts of sexual battery to a physically helpless person.

11. Here's how we handle this on DU

Here's a screenshot of the offending post:



This comment is vile and several posters have said so. When we wont something like this to be removed, do as I did: click on "Alert Abuse" button below the comment. You'll be asked the reason why you're alerting. In this case I said it was for "bigotry or insensitivity."

Sometimes it's for "Bashing Democrats" or whatever the reason. If the mods agree with your alert, then it goes out for jury and up to 6 DUers will review the comment and decide if it breaks the Terms of Service rules or not. If the majority of the jury decides yes it does break the rules, then the comment will be hidden (removed).

Just remember that we ALL have this power to get offensive comments removed.

5. This is one of those ambiguous headlines:

Florida Doctor Accused of Sexual Assaulting Patients Found Dead With Gunshot Wound To The Head

Were the patients found dead?

Sorry. Old editor here.

My first thought was, someone got to him.
I'm not condoning murder but sometimes it seems like the fair thing to do.

12. I'm Not Ruling Out...

...being "suicided".
Until the authorities confirm the note in his hand, I can't rule out a revenge killing.
Either way, a waste of oxygen is gone.
No sympathy.
