The Klausutis family contended from the time of Lori’s death that her passing was a private matter, and became outraged at all of the media coverage the investigation into the death received. Her father-in-law, Norm Klausutis, wrote a letter to the editor of the Daily News to express the family’s anger.

“On behalf of Lori Klausutis’ entire family, I want to thank the Northwest Florida Daily News for adding to this family’s pain over Lori’s loss. Losing Lori was the most painful event in my life of 62 years. It was far more painful for her husband. Lori was a loving, healthy and dynamic person. She gave of herself to her community, her church and even perfect strangers. She was extremely happy with her life, job and family.

“For those who knew Lori, the thought of suicide, as your published reports suggested, is absolutely unthinkable. Suicide was contrary to her faith and being. She did not suffer from seizures, nor did she have a history of medical problems. For your newspaper to print such unsubstantiated misinformation was unethical and uncaring for the people in our community. It was my understanding that journalists had to verify facts for their stories, unless their material appeared on the editorial page. One can only wonder what motivated your reporter to write as she did. Again, thank you for adding to my family’s pain.” —Norm Klausutis, Lori’s father-in-law

Efforts to reach members of the Klausutis family for this article were unsuccessful.

What ever happened to that intern of his?

Amazing how Joe went from a 100% Conservative to the errand boy of Mika Zbig in just a few years after a mysterious death of a married young woman in his office.

There was even a website:

(This last link is GREAT. The Medical Examiner had his license revoked in another state years before for malpractice; he was also a big donor to Scarborough)

Wanna know why Kos isn't on MSNBC?

Did you know Scarborough was the Original Lawyer for the guy who shot DR GUNN, the abortion doctor? And while he resigned because the case was too big for him, he represented the perp's family for a while.
