Indiana Doctor Kills His Bride In Wedding Night Row

It was supposed to be the couple’s happiest day: Kelly Ecker, a nurse, and Dr. George Scott Samson married Saturday afternoon in Terre Haute, Indiana.

By their wedding night, both were dead.

Samson, an anesthesiologist at Union Hospital is Terre Haute, shot his bride and then himself in their home just hours after they exchanged vows, authorities said.

“The investigation has revealed that there was a verbal argument between the couple toward the end of the reception,” Chief Deputy Sheriff Clark Cottom told the Indianapolis Star.

Cottom confirmed, “there were a total of three very brief 911 calls, which in the first two the caller disconnected.”

Dispatchers were on the phone with Kelly Samson a third time when they heard what sounded like multiple gunshots.

“The phone call went dead in a short amount of time. Dispatchers immediately dispatched deputies to the scene,” Cottom told WTHI.

It’s not clear what the fight was about.

“We are still gathering statements from the attendants,” Cottom said.
