Maybe this will help...from the Concord Monitor.

The lawyer for Steven Chern issued a brief statement yesterday that expressed sorrow for the Bow doctor's death but shed no light on the circumstances.
"We are greatly saddened to hear of Dr. Chern's death," Bill Christie said in the statement. "This is a very sad set of circumstances. Our thoughts are with his many friends and most especially his family."
Christie told a reporter he did not know the doctor's cause of death. He said he expected that information would come from the state medical examiner's office.
Chern, who was charged with sexually assaulting three female patients and due to go on trial in August, was found dead Monday in Meredith, according to law enforcement officials. The Citizen reported yesterday that Chern was found unresponsive shortly before 3 p.m. Monday in a hotel room at Church Landing in Meredith.
The Citizen, which didn't name its sources, reported that Chern died of an apparent overdose. It also reported that he left a note explaining how he wanted his property divided.
A manager at Church Landing did not return a call yesterday, and the Meredith police have referred questions to the Merrimack County Attorney's Office.
Merrimack County Attorney Scott Murray confirmed Chern's death Tuesday but said he couldn't provide additional information. He said he hadn't been given any indication the incident was criminal in nature.
A representative from the state medical examiner's office said yesterday that autopsy results likely would not be available for six to eight weeks.
