Former hand surgeon Michael Brown dies after doctors remove life support in Florida hospital

Michael Brown, the former Houston hand surgeon, has died in a Miami hospital.

Physicians at the hospital declared Brown, 56, to be "brain dead" on Nov. 7 and on their own volition decided to end life support Friday morning, said David Brown, a Houston attorney representing Michael Brown's wife in the couple's divorce case.

"It's pretty outrageous to me that it would happen without notifying the family," David Brown said Friday.

The attorney said he understood that Michael Brown was taken off life support about 8:15 a.m. Friday, central time.

All his troubles and he was going to prison. A few millions missing. The doctors pulled the plug without consent of the family. And now he is deceased. Just fishy.

Regardless, rest in peace.
