Dr.
Bruce Copeland
1978-2010
Sunrise,
Mississippi
Dr.
Bruce Copeland died tragically at his home on May 21, the apparent victim of a
botched assassination attempt on his wife, who recently discovered the decapitated
head of Consuela Garcia-Perez, a witness in a federal case against a drug lord
with a Mexican cartel.
Witnesses
say that Dr. Copeland opted to return the rental car his wife had been using
after an auto accident rather than risking any danger to her and their unborn
child. When the doctor got into the car, it exploded.
A
devoted oncologist and family man, Dr. Copeland will be greatly missed.
After
receiving his medical degree from University Medical Center, Dr. Copeland set
up a satellite clinic in Sunrise, Mississippi, to be closer to patients who
might have difficulty traveling to Jackson.
Dr.
Copeland is survived by his pregnant wife, Laura Beth nee Riker, two young daughters,
his parents, and a sister and her husband and children.
Arrangements
are on hold since his family has been taken into protective custody until a
sadistic killer can be apprehended. Authorities ask that any information
relating to the case be routed to FBI Special Agent Ed Pickering via Sunrise
Police Department and Detective Sergeant Tanner McGill.

Taylor-Perry.
This was so sad and a death that was unnecessary. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat!
