The New Orleans doctor who claims that hospital patients were euthanized in the days following Hurricane Katrina has tacitly confirmed a NewsMax report from a month ago.
The September 12 NewsMax story, which originated in the respected British newspaper the Daily Mail, revealed that critically ill patients who were likely to die were injected with morphine and "laid down in a dark place to die.”
Now Dr. Bryant King, while never flatly saying that he saw mercy killings at Memorial Medical Center, has left little doubt that he believes euthanasia did in fact take place.
"Most people know something happened that shouldn’t have happened,” he told CNN, in an exclusive report the network aired Thursday evening.

CNN disclosed that when Dr. King saw a physician with a handful of syringes approaching patients, he "decided he would have no part of what he believed was about to happen,” and left the hospital.
Another member of the hospital’s medical staff, nurse manager Fran Butler, told CNN: "Did they say to put people out of their misery? Yes.”
