An Alabama man, who was reportedly beaten and left for dead in a ditch while vacationing in Mexico, has died, according to a report.
Dr. William O’Byrne III, 54, who worked as an anesthesiologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, died Wednesday, friends told AL.com.
“His passing is a terrible loss for the medical community, and he will be truly missed,” Dr. Jason Hall, an anesthesiology resident at Duke, told AL.com. “His friendship and advice has comforted and motivated me throughout my medical training, and I can only hope to live up to the example he set for all physicians.”
