Doctor found dead. (Updated)


Madison PD issued the following press release:
On November 21, 2013 at 5:30pm, officers of the Madison Police Department responded to a welfare concern at a residence located in the Cobblestone Subdivision in the City of Madison.  The police department was contacted by a relative that had been unable to reach Joseph Booker, Jr. for several days.  Once at the residence, officers were unable to make contact and entry was made into the house.  Upon doing so, officers discovered 69 year old Joseph Booker, Jr. MD deceased.  There were no signs of forced entry prior to entering the residence and no signs of foul play.  The coroner was notified and an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.  The matter remains under investigation.      

Update: Madison PD issued another press release:

On Friday, November 22, 2013 an autopsy was conducted on decedent Joseph Booker, Jr. at the Mississippi State Crime Laboratory. As a result of the autopsy, Madison County Coroner Alex Breeland has classified Dr. Booker’s death as accidental. The autopsy revealed that Mr. Booker, whose body was found in a bathtub at his residence, suffered a stroke and drowned.

Was he the abortion doctor?

He was the doctor who came over from Alabama to perform abortions in Mississippi. I would not give up so quickly on the "foul play" possibility.

Right. The Pro-Life crowd flew their multi-gazillion dollar secret ops stealth black helicopter over the good physician's house in the dark of night and murdered him with a top-secret gamma ray weapon that leaves no discernable trace of wrong doing even to the most highly trained scientists and forensic experts.

Good Lord we can only hope that you have been neutered and are unable to reproduce.

He was also involved in few lawsuits. A recent judgement for 600K and the suit with the clinic. Did I read some where that he did time in jail in the past?

good riddance...the guy has the blood of innocent children on his hands.

9:53 - because no one ever murders abortion doctors?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, right, 9;53 a.m. The "pro-lifers" would NEVER murder a physician who performed abortions. Would you like for me to name off the many victims of extremists who claim to be doing God's work by murdering physicians and sometimes bystanders who have the misfortune of getting in the way?

None of us know if Dr. Booker was murdered or not. But don't act like that's not in the realm of possibility.

I don't know about that non-violence thing. One of those wingnuts on state street has to stay away from the clinic because he threatened to kill the doctors. I'd say there are probably a couple of those folks that police ought to at least visit with.

I mourn for his soul, but this world is a better place without his deeds.

All you people should be ashamed. A man is dead. He provided a medical service to women who may otherwise try to abort their own babies and die, or be the parent of a baby they cannot provide for. Not everyone is meant to be a parent.

Are you God? You get to decide who to judge? You pro-lifers who sin every day of your life come on here and speak ill of the dead. Why don't you take care of your own sinful life first.

All you pro-lifers. Where are you when the babies are born and the mothers have nothing! Where are you when the babies are born and end up abused and neglected because the mother didn't want the baby in the first place! Where are you when the mother needs help of knowing where to GO for help? Where are you when a teenage girl's parents throw her out because she is pregnant?

When you pro-lifers start taking these babies and help them, then you can talk. Otherwise, STFU.

RIP Sir.

Get off your high horse, 1:50. Conservatives and others to the right of the political center have contributed more money through charitable contributions and church donations, not to mention income taxes at every level, than liberals in the last 50 years. Don't tell me that we don't care about the poor. The mother who needs help along with the teenage girl who's been thrown out usually wind up being cared for by private charities funded largely by - you guessed it - conservatives and church groups. Adoptive families? Want to take a guess at their political affiliations? Conservatives are the most generous people in the world to those who truly need help.

Back to the doctor. I'm pro-life, but no one deserves to be killed because he's provided legal medical services to women. Let the police do their work before you start accusing anyone of a crime.

Coroner ruled accidental death per C-L web site.

Very speedy decision - has the coroner ruled on that 17 year old girl who died two or three months ago yet?

KaptKangaroo said...

Not ashamed of anything other than the fact you take a death and lambast others over an issue his death is in no way connected to.

Shame on politicizing this poor man's unfortunate demise with your personal issues.

It's NOT been ruled accidental death. Autopsy scheduled. However, no sign of forceable entry, doors locked, "Foul Play Not Suspected", according to police report.

Of course this is the same PD that can't rule on the death of a young girl after the passage of five months.

Let's put Jody Renaldo and Tom Head and a few other whackos on the case. The first place I'd look are the Blue Peacocks.

I am shocked - shocked! - that the C-L got it wrong.

That can't be. The pro-babydeath kooks are convinced, CONVINCED, that he was murdered.

4:07, I'll bite.

Where are all the white, pro-lifers who forego adopting a black child in opting for international adoption?

Not Head said...

I think the feds need to supervise this autopsy and investigation due to the political centrality and tension. Its inevitable that the DOJ sets in.

It takes a great deal of courage to live one's convictions in the face of threats and hostility. My sympathies to Dr. Booker's friends and family.

Some of us remember when young women died needlessly because a medical procedure that would have saved their lives was unavailable except to the wealthy who had the money to go to other countries.

And some of us believe that religious freedom includes being in charge of one's own soul especially when most of your fellow citizens are not so puritanically rigid on an issue and when it is not possible to know when a mass of cells develops a soul . Some of us have faith that if God intended all humans to live from conception, He, in His wisdom could have made humans to lay eggs and not be dependent on the mother. Or He could have imbued humans with the medical wisdom to save every human fertilized egg.

Bill, I doubt there is any evidence for your claim. Charity comes in forms other than money as well. I don't see the passion leading these pro-Lifers to dedicate themselves to CARA, for example, or ever wondering how innocent babies become " thugs".

When every child born in this Nation truly has an equal opportunity to grow and develop and have their basic needs met and when we better understand the long term effects of drugs and machines on babies taken out of the womb too soon, we can have a rational rather than an emotional and religious based discussion.

The rabid pro-lifers certainly didn't care about the 12 year olds they upset at Prep a few weeks ago. Nor did they respect the Prep parents rights to teach their children in their own way and time.

And, I know, for certain. that more than a few of the rabid pro-Lifers in this town should have been spending more time worried about their own children and their own souls! They are certainly not without sin!

7:48 a.m., you raise some good points. I myself as a Christian struggle with the abortion issue. I personally would never agree to one, assuming the fetus was not grossly deformed or something like that and my wife's life wasn't in danger.

However, these nuts who want to say my daughter, if raped by a criminal and she becomes pregnant, should go to prison for having an abortion should she decide to do that, with me going to prison with her for helping her, can kiss my behind.

All this to say these are tough issues. I don't need the pro-lifers or the pro-choicers yelling at me about what they believe my family should do.

Lastly, I vote for 8:05 a,m. to go sleep somewhere else and quit wasting space on here.

Which ones? Be specific.

Anonymous said...

@11:20-99.9% of pro-lifers would have no issue with a rape victim having a d&c. Our issue is with women who freely participate in sexual activities and turn to abortion when they slip up or their "protection" fails. A woman who does not wish to have a child should either refrain or have her tubes tied. End of problem and no babies killed in the process.

Anonymous said...

5:30 pm No one is forcing others to have abortions.

I'm so glad you were mature and wise during adolescence and didn't imagine yourself in LOVE with someone not deserving. It wasn't the " sluts" who got pregnant but the naïve, uninformed girls...some of whom were left sterile forever and would have been great mothers.

I was an teen before Roe V Wade and saw tragedies that affected the future , not just of the mothers, but the children as well.

And, I saw up close and personal what rhe death of mothers in childbirth ( whose babies died with them) can mean to the surviving children. There are wicked step mother tales for a reason.

You may want to take God's place in judging and deciding if it's murder, I am not so "puffed up" as to think God doesn't know the heart of the women who make those decision and am content to let THEM and HIM be in control.

He did give us, unlike other mammals, choice and reason, so we could make decisions based on facts.

Our increased deaths in childbirth ought to give everyone pause IF they think a living human's life, long out of the womb, has value.

And, these little children born in abject poverty and neglected are precious until they are THUGS,right?

Radioactive assays are needed. Arafat got poisoned and we are just now finding out.

Exactly. He was probably poisoned by the charter school lobby, me thinks.

there is no 'in between' on the abortion issue. you can't be 'pro-life ... unless the baby is deformed.' That's ridiculous.

Judy's Watching said...

Arafat, a middle-east world leader decades ago was poisoned so there's a good chance an unemployed doctor in Madison, MS was too. Surprised the perps didn't move his body from the bathtub to the woods across from the elementary school. Oh, the drama!

I wish you had nearly as much concern about the men "freely participating in sexual activities" with them.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
