Dr. Peele Will Sign
August 17th, 2012 @ 8:33 am

Chris Boden called me from the office of the Volusia County Medical Examiner. The number on my called ID displayed as (386) 736-2700 and for a moment I was hopeful that it might be Dr. Hermann calling to tell me there had been a mistake. But, no. Chris told me, “Our office made contact with […]

Calling Detective Whittier
August 17th, 2012 @ 8:26 am

I called Detective Whittier of the Deland Police Department to get a status report, but he didn’t answer. I left him a voice mail.

Calling RxPerts
August 17th, 2012 @ 8:19 am

I called RxPerts Pharmacy this morning. I had received a bill from them at my home in Los Angeles; I have to assume that someone at Woodland Terrace gave them my address. I tried the phone number on one of the forms in the admissions packet from Rosa Rivera, (813) 740-1818. From their voice prompt […]

An Outstanding Bill
August 17th, 2012 @ 8:00 am

I received a phone call at 11:00 AM EDT from (386) 425-4580. I didn’t recognize the number and answered the phone by simply saying, “Hello?” The woman on the line said, “Hello. I’m trying to get in touch with Kathleen Gagne,” and my heart just dropped. I said, “This is David Gagne. How can I […]

A Plea
August 17th, 2012 @ 7:18 am

I called Dr. Hermann, the chief medical examiner of Volusia County, with the intent of begging her to reconsider or at least to explain how her office could so absurdly claim that my mother died of natural causes and therefore her death did not warrant an autopsy. She didn’t answer her phone, of course. I […]

Calling Steve
August 17th, 2012 @ 7:10 am

Around ten o’clock in the morning on August 17th, 2012, I called Steve Phillips to let him know about my conversation with the medical examiner, but he didn’t answer his phone. I left him a voice mail message asking him to return my call.

Not a Medical Examiner Case
August 17th, 2012 @ 6:45 am

I called the office of the Volusia County Medical Examiner this morning since I did not hear from anyone there yesterday. 1 I asked for Bob Burch and was told that he has the day off today. I asked for Dr. Hermann and the person who had answered the phone asked me, “What case is […]

Cusack Mortuary
August 16th, 2012 @ 9:57 am

A few days after she arrived at Cusack Mortuary, Dr. Cusack emailed me looking for an update: Good Morning Mr. Gagne, Just wanted to check in with you and see what was the lastest. Also wondering if you had a photo of your mother that you could send me in jpg form to add it […]

Getting Mom’s Stuff
August 16th, 2012 @ 9:05 am

I called Woodland Terrace and Rosa answered the phone. I said, “This is David Gagne,” and she asked, “How are you doing?” I ignored her question and told her that I wanted to know what I needed to do to have my dad retrieve my mom’s personal belongings. She told me that they had collected […]

Looking for an Update
August 16th, 2012 @ 8:10 am

I called Detective Whittier of the Deland Police Department to see if he had any update. I know that he had said he was going to go to Woodland Terrace this morning to attempt to talk to Dr. Peele in person. He did not answer, so I left him a voice mail.
