Top E.R. Doctor Who Treated Virus Patients Dies by Suicide: โ€œShe tried to do her job, and it killed her,โ€ said the father of Dr. Lorna M. Breen, who worked at a Manhattan hospital hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak.

Dr. Breen, 49, did not have a history of mental illness, her father said. But he said that when he last spoke with her, she seemed detached, and he could tell something was wrong. She had described to him an onslaught of patients who were dying before they could even be taken out of ambulances.

As of April 7, there had been 59 patient deaths at the hospital, according to an internal document.
