The brother of an ER doctor and crypto millionaire discovered dead in a lake has said that police are treating the death as a homicide.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, his brother Richard said that they had dinner just days before he disappeared and said his behavior prior to his death were not 'the actions of a person who kills himself.'
'On May 17, which was four days before my brother went missing, he and I had a three hour dinner. We had, I suppose in retrospect, a very long goodbye.
?It was at that dinner that he told me about [his fianc?e] Laura, and that he was very happy to have found her and they were very much in love. And I congratulated him.
?They had definite plans, he and I had plans. I know what kind of a person he was, he was driven, passionate. These are not the actions of a person who kills himself. I do not believe this was a suicide.?
Richard also told DailyMail.com that homicide detectives have been brought in to investigate the case.
He continued: 'The police are not sharing much, but the homicide detectives who are working on this case, are still working on this case, as a homicide.
?And this is post autopsy. That's not the police telling me something definitive, but you don't need a lot to connect those dots.'
