    squeal re: Irwin

    Posted what I could find about Irwin just a bit ago.

    Looks like we hit at least one site that was the same.

    As to Irwin's comments -- nadda! It seems like this is the right guy, only one by that name in the area. Hard to tell from Duley's account -- he may have been Ivin's psychiatrist at the time or he may have been called in on consultation. Was curious partly because, with the suicide, I wondered what kind of psychotropics he had on board and who was prescribing the Tylenol and codeine. I was stunned that they initially weren't going to do a post -- because they "knew how he died." Later there was some noise about doing one. Don't know final result.

    I've been very disturbed by Duley's testimony and the forensic issues in this case; posted a number of times. I have grave doubts that any of Duley's testimony at the restraint hearing can be taken at face value. When I saw that Irwin had done his residency at military hospitals, I became more concerned -- probably for the same reasons you are even though I usually try to navigate without a tin foil hat.

    Suggest you check my other posts to see what's there and maybe you can push it further. Good luck!

    BTW: If you haven't listened to Duley at the hearing it's worth doing.
