Doctor of Death Richard Pryde Boggs

This is a Discovery ID show that ran in 2012 and 2013. The show is described as This show follows criminal investigators as they uncover the stories behind brutal killings. With the help of forensic evidence, old fashioned legwork and years of dogged determination, detectives and D.A.'s convict murderers and deliver justice to families mourning their dead..

In season 1, episode 23, the show is titled Doctor of Death and is described as California neurologist, Dr. Richard Pryde Boggs, calls paramedics when "myocardium" claims one of this patients, Melvin Eugene Hanson, while in his office. Hanson had informed friends he has a serious heart condition and recently relocated to be under Dr. Boggs' personal care. On April 16, 1988, when EMT/police arrive at the scene, they become suspicious at once, since this doctor is not a cardiologist, sees the patient unusually early in the morning, should have sent Hanson an ambulance and met him at an ER, rather than advising he drive to an unequipped office. The story of Dr. Richard Pryde Boggs and Melvin Eugene Hanson is shown. This ends badly for Melvin Eugene Hanson who ends up dead and Dr. Richard Pryde Boggs who ends up dying in prison in May 2003.
