Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, who helped families whose children were believed to have been damaged by immunizations, was found dead last week under what many are calling ?suspicious circumstances?. He was found dead floating in a North Carolina river.
Dr Bradstreet, a medical doctor, was a prominent autism researcher and vaccine opponent, he was also parent of a child who developed autism after vaccination
A fisherman found the body of Dr. James Jeffery Bradstreet in the Rocky Broad River in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, last Friday afternoon.
?Bradstreet had a gunshot wound to the chest, which appeared to be self inflicted, according to deputies,? reported WHNS.
In a press release, the Rutherford County Sheriff?s Office announced, ?Divers from the Henderson County Rescue Squad responded to the scene and recovered a handgun from the river.?
An investigation into the death is ongoing, and the results of an autopsy are also reportedly forthcoming.
Dr. Bradstreet ran a private practice in Buford, Georgia, which focused on ?treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, PPD, and related neurological and developmental disorders.?
Among various remedies, Dr. Bradstreet?s Wellness Center reportedly carried out ?mercury toxicity? treatments, believing the heavy metal to be a leading factor in the development of childhood autism.
Dr. Bradstreet undertook the effort to pinpoint the cause of the disease after his own child developed the ailment following routine vaccination.
?Autism taught me more about medicine than medical school did,? the doctor once stated at a conference, according to the Epoch Times? Jake Crosby.
In addition to treating patients, Bradstreet has also offered expert testimony in federal court on behalf of vaccine-injured families and was founder and president of the International Child Development Resource Center, which at one time employed the much-scorned autism expert Dr. Andrew Wakefield as ?research director.?
The circumstances surrounding Bradstreet?s death are made all the more curious by a recent multi-agency raid led by the FDA on his offices.
?The FDA has yet to reveal why agents searched the office of the doctor, reportedly a former pastor who has been controversial for well over a decade,? reported the Gwinnett Daily Post.
Social media pages dedicated to Bradstreet?s memory are filled with comments from families who say the deceased doctor impacted their lives for the better.
?Dr. Bradstreet was my son?s doctor after my son was diagnosed with autism. He worked miracles,? one Facebook user states. ?At 16, my son is now looking at a normal life thanks to him. I thank him every day.?
?I will forever be grateful and thankful for Dr. Bradstreet recovering my son? from autism,? another person writes. ?Treatments have changed my son?s life so that he can grow up and live a normal healthy life. Dr. Bradstreet will be missed greatly!?
A GoFundMe page has also been set up by one of Bradstreet?s family members seeking ?To find the answers to the many questions leading up to the death of Dr Bradstreet, including an exhaustive investigation into the possibility of foul play.?
Despite his family requesting the public refrain from speculation, many are nevertheless concluding the doctor?s death to be part of a conspiracy.
?Self-inflicted? In the chest? I?m not buying this,? one person in the WHNS comments thread states. ?This was a doctor who had access to pharmaceuticals of all kinds. This was a religious man with a thriving medical practice. Sorry, but this stinks of murder and cover-up.?
Another commentor had a more definitive conjecture:
?He did NOT kill himself! He was murdered for who he was speaking against, what he knew, and what he was doing about it. He was brilliant kind compassionate doctor with amazing abilities to heal. He was taken. Stopped. Silenced. Why would a doctor who had access to pharmaceuticals and could die peacefully shoot himself in the chest???? And throw himself in a river?? THIS IS OBVIOUS! MURDER!!?

Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, an autism researcher hailed as a hero by some, dismissed as a fringe conspiracy theorist by others, is believed to have committed suicide following a visit to his Buford office by federal agents, authorities confirmed Thursday.
Multiple law enforcement officials said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration searched Bradstreet Wellness Center last week. On Monday, plastic sheets covered the windows of the two suites the office takes up in a complex off Commerce Drive, and the doors were locked.
Employees who answered the door said they couldn?t give any information, that it was too soon to speculate on how he died. By Wednesday night, some of Bradstreet?s supporters were speculating that his death wasn?t a suicide, but a conspiracy.
The Rutherford County, N.C. Sheriff?s Office says the doctor, 61, of Braselton, was found dead by a fisherman in the Rocky Broad River on Friday afternoon, not far from the lake Bradstreet and his wife often visited on vacation.
?Mr. Bradstreet had a gunshot wound to the chest, which appears to be self inflicted,? a statement from the office said, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
The FDA has yet to reveal why agents searched the office of the doctor, reportedly a former pastor who has been controversial for well over a decade. Robert Hiser, an assistant special agent in charge with the federal agency?s criminal investigations division, referred questions to the U.S. Attorney?s Office in Atlanta, which couldn?t immediately be reached Thursday.
The Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency aided the FDA with the raid, but director Rick Allen said Thursday he wasn?t immediately able to give information on the purpose of the search.
Bradstreet has been criticized for using methods of treating autism that were dismissed by mainstream medical professionals. He has also been blasted for reportedly treating patients for ?mercury toxicity,? based on the belief that an ingredient in a childhood vaccination caused autism, a theory which the leading voices in medicine say is inaccurate.
As news of his death spread, many of his supporters began posting messages online, saying that he had saved their children?s lives, that he was champion for the movement to cure autism. They posted story after story in which his therapies and drugs were successful.
Others, including a man who said he was his brother, called him a martyr for autism and insinuated that the truth about his death wasn?t yet known. The man, Thomas Bradstreet, is shown as the creator an online fundraising page, asking for $25,000 from supporters for ?Finding out the TRUTH.?
More than $5,000 had been donated by shortly after noon Thursday.
Jamie Keever, the investigator from the sheriff?s office on the case, said he was aware of the theories.
?I?ve talked to some of those people today,? he said Thursday. ?I don?t know what to say. They have a right to their opinion.?
Efforts to reach the Bradstreet family were not successful this week.
