Melvin Eugene Hanson was dead. The 46-year-old had apparently passed away in his doctor\u2019s office after he\u2019d called to complain about chest pain. Right away, investigators were suspicious. Why had Melvin\u2019s doctor encouraged him to come into the office? Why not tell him to go to the emergency room? Dr. Richard Boggs was quick to provide an answer. He said that Melvin didn\u2019t trust other doctors. But investigators couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something was off.
