John Forsyth Cause of Death

According to the woman's attorney, Ryan Ricketts, Forsyth and the mother of his eight children recently divorced on cordial terms. The couple was married in Nevada in 1995, got divorced in 2019, got remarried in 2016, and then got divorced again in April 2022.

Their minor children were given to his ex-wife, who resides in Idaho and asked to remain anonymous, and Forsyth maintained a close relationship with them, Ricketts told the AP. She is horrified and inconsolable, to put it simply. She never anticipated any of this, he added.

According to court documents, a judge ordered Forsyth to give his ex-wife $4,000 in child support each month in addition to another $15,000 each month. The circumstances surrounding his death are become more mysterious over two weeks after his body was found. Security footage from a parking lot of a public swimming pool, according to his brother Richard Forsyth, showed the doctor getting into another vehicle before his body was discovered.

According to his brother, Forsyth allegedly exited the vehicle before the driver backed out of the parking lot and continued to walk for ten to fifteen minutes after that. He then abandoned his unlocked RV, which contained goods including phones and laptops, in the parking lot.

The day she vanished, he contacted her fiancée to suggest he would see her soon before ceasing to reply, according to Richard Forsyth. Forsyth travelled 50 miles from Cassville to Beaver Lake, but secretive officials have chosen not to reveal how she did it. The results of an autopsy have been finished, but they are being kept under wraps while the inquiry is still ongoing.

Richard Forsyth claimed that his brother rarely missed a day of work and that he liked his job at the Mercy Hospital in the sleepy village of Cassville. He said that when he was on call, he frequently slept in his caravan outside the hospital. "Very uncharacteristic," he said, to leave it unlocked.

According to his brother, Forsyth had previously been kidnapped in 2022 and afterwards freed. According to Richard Forsyth, his sister did not call the police because she believed he was no longer in danger, as he revealed to Fox News.He claimed that although officials have not officially verified it, detectives have informed the family that they are treating the death as a homicide.
