A former Utah psychiatrist who fled the United States after being convicted for possession of child pornography was found dead Saturday in his jail cell in the Dominican Republic. The FBI said Bruce Guernsey is believed to have committed suicide.
Guernsey pleaded guilty in Utah to one court of possession of child pornography in March. The last time he was seen in the state was in April after he filed paperwork to surrender his license to practice psychiatry. After failing to check in under his court ordered supervised pretrial release, a new arrest warrant was issued.
Guernsey was found Friday at a hotel in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republican National Police are investigating Guernsey's death.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
