Records show troubles for 'waterboarding' doctor
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Court records show a Delaware doctor accused of waterboarding his 11-year-old stepdaughter was tormented by personal and financial problems.
But Dr. Melvin Morse was also known as brilliant pediatrician at a renowned children's hospital in Seattle and a best-selling author who parlayed his research on near-death experiences into appearances on "Larry King Live" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Based on his work involving children's out-of-body experiences, police have suggested he may have been experimenting on his daughter. An attorney for Morse says that's sheer speculation.
