Doctor Throws Sons To Deaths, Kills Self
KWTX, TX

Miami Beach, Florida (US):
What could cause a man to throw his 4-year-old and 8-year-old sons to their deaths from a 15th-floor hotel balcony?
It happened Saturday in Miami Beach, Fla.
Police say the Illinois man, a cancer doctor who'd been visiting there with his wife and children, then jumped to his own death.
His wife heard the kids screaming, and then saw her husband jump.
She says they'd been having marital problems, but they hadn't argued right before the tragedy.
Other doctors at the Illinois hospital where Edward Van Dyk was head of the cancer center say he was quiet, intelligent and friendly.
A colleague, Dr. Ed Ragsdale, says Van Dyk dealt with patients who had severe forms of cancer.
