The Missouri ER doctor who mysteriously disappeared last week was found dead from a gunshot wound in an Arkansas lake, authorities confirmed Wednesday — as his brother said the devoted healthcare worker may have been in danger because he had previously been kidnapped.

Dr. John Forsyth’s body was found Tuesday by a kayaker in an Arkansas lake — about an hour south of where he was last seen in Cassville, Missouri — with what appeared to be a gunshot wound, the Benton County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.

Cassville Police Captain James Smith told The Post that the 49-year-old’s body was found in the area of Beaver Lake.

Officials have not shared the location of the wound or whether they believe Forsyth’s death was a suicide.

This guy was kidnapped last year? There’s a lot more going on in the story than the simple headline.

It could have been an irate husband if he was having an affair, it could be suicide, but if could be that what is currently believed to be a gun shot wound is not a gunshot wound. The report does state appears to be a gunshot wound. It he has been in the water it could be deceiving what the wound is really from.

I am right there in watching too much of those shows, as is my wife also. 🙂

Yeah, kidnapping isn’t a very common crime. Certainly there are some questions to be asked here.

We need to get the idiot Clouseau right on this along with his friend Dreyfus.

How many people get kidnapped more than once in their life?
What was that series on Netflix? Ozark? Lots of dead bodies showed up in that show.
Disclaimer: I cancelled Netflix long ago.. stupid obama connection!

That was hilarious.

I’d never seen that before.

So deadpan.

Baseketball is one of the stupidest, and most hillarious movies ever made. I thought Matt and Trey were great in it, although they’ve distanced themselves from it.

You should watch "Orgazmo" by those two. Even more wild than Baketball. Lol

Seen that one too. I need to go see The Book of Mormon.

Could have something to do with drugs. Reportedly, a lot of Docs use cocaine.

Benton County... a lot of illegal labor was brought to the Ozarks in TBE Clinton-Tyson years. And with it, came the cartels.
