Dr. Dean Lorich, 54, was found dead on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 10, with a knife in his chest. There was no sign of forcible entry to his Park Avenue apartment in Manhattan and police sources told the New York Post that it appeared Lorich killed himself.

But why? Lorich was a successful orthopedic surgeon, married, father of three girls. His 11-year-old daughter found him face-up on the bathroom floor, but there was no suicide note.
