Oncologist kills both sons, then himself in Miami

It's almost unimaginable. An oncologist with two sons - one four and one eight - throws each from a 15th floor hotel balcony in Florida, both still in their pajamas, then throws himself. Tragedies like these scream out - SOMETHING IS WRONG IN AMERICA.
The bodies of eight-year-old Spencer Van Dyk and his brother Carl, four, landed with such force on the lobby roof at the Loews Hotel in Miami Beach after the 125ft plunge that a chandelier was shattered.

* * *

"This is an individual who had issues with his wife and selfishly took his children's lives," said Sgt Bobby Hernandez of the Miami Beach Police Department. "What would possess someone to take his two children, dressed in their pyjamas, and throw them over the balcony? It's a terrible tragedy."

Qinuo Van Dyk told police that she and her husband, a radiation oncologist, had experienced difficulties in their marriage during the last six months but had come to Florida to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary.

She said she heard one of the boys screaming in their next-door room at the hotel and rushed in to see her husband jumping over the balcony. When she got to the balcony and looked over, she saw all three bodies lying on the roof.

"It's so horrific it's almost unbelievable," Sgt Hernandez said. Mrs Van Dyk, also a doctor, was last night being comforted by relatives and a police chaplain at the hotel while detectives continued to try to piece together her husband's motive for the murders.

A former colleague at the Norris Cotton Cancer Centre, New Hampshire, where Dr Van Dyk worked for two years before moving to the Alton Memorial Hospital 18 months ago, said:

"He had some difficult times and he had some trouble here. I guess he didn't sort of fit in."
You mean 'in the world?'

What a bizarre thing to say about a man who just killed himself and his two young sons. This doesn't sound like the act of an "oddball" who doesn't "fit in" or someone who's simply "selfish," as the sergeant described.

Obviously, this man suffered from SEVERE psychosis. How does something like this go unnoticed?

Both parents are doctors, so I will assume they are financially secure - though even the rich can live beyond their means. Come to think of it, both parents may be debt-ridden. Nevertheless, when a family with a relatively secure future IMPLODES like this - apparently out of the blue - you have to wonder, WHY?

Is this the price "professional" Americans pay for financial security? If so, God help us.

Interesting that you make all sorts of leaps about the culture of America based on a few isolated incidents, and yet you fail to conclude anything about the culture of Islamic nations based on widespread honor killings.

Anon:

I notice you say "Jews and Americans," not "Israelis and Americans." Nice touch. Really shows how non-antisemitic you are. *rolls eyes*

So are you saying that somehow honor killings in the Middle East is linked to Israel? I am confused.

And furthermore, the number of deaths you cite is a) wildly inaccurate, and b) ignores the large number that was in fact killed by the insurgents.

But, oh right. "ISRAEL IS EVIL! EVILLLLLL!!!!! DEATH TO AMERICA! DEATH TO ISRAEL! JIHAD!!!!!!"

*yawns*

This is about Israel and Evangelical Christians and their POLITICAL/Religious alliance. Emphasis on political for Israel.

As far as this incident is concerned. It's one of the most bizarre and inexplicable that I've heard yet. Any comparison with honor killings, which you claim is widespread in Arab countries, is misplaced. While not excusable, at least it's clear that honor killings are based on a specific misconception.

Moreover, I lived in an Arab country for many years and never once heard about one.

Maybe he was depressed at the thought of living in a nation that is being destroyed by Jews. Maybe he didn't want his kids to be forced into committing war crimes for Israel.

Isn't it amazing, you can use the words Muslim or Krischun, anytime, anywhere, but the moment you use the word Joo, you are supposed to be anti-semitic!
The Americans continue to murder thousands in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq and the Jews and neo-cons continue to revel and push for more bloodshed in Iran, while committing grand theft of land and oil.
Good vs Evil?????? F-16 bombers vs suicide bombers?????

Now his sons will never have a chance to be drafted into war.
Oh well, I'm sure there are alot of Christians who are getting ready to snuff'a'life for Christ. [thank God for Pat's vitamin sludge slurpy to get'em pumped] Put them in your holy cross-hairs and send'em to hell [there going to end up there anyway] Slaughter all the Muslim women and children for God's self chosen people that are living in the holy lands, cause if you don't then Hitler will take form in a Muslim body and try to finish the job. So smile, be smart, join the killing machine. If American's donot fly right through the front lines they will not be accepted into the heavens as hero's. When the draft starts up (very , very soon) I pray they start with every church and politicians house and corporate executives mansions for these are the people who believe war is for the greater good and would indeed make the best fighters on the field.

What do you expect when you have mental cases running the government? It's trickle down insanity. Eventually it will infect us all. This is how they work. They start banning books like when they forced Amazon and B&N to stop distributing "America Deceived" by E.A. Blayre III, then they invade foriegn countries, then they drive us to madness. Here's the last link left before Google Books gets in line:

I feel for the man. I bet the good doc had taken too much of his own medicine. High drug addiction rate among docs.

Oncology is a depressing job. They don't cure much, and counsel a lot, mostly to the dying. That and the wife sleeping with another doc...?

Prozac isn't much help, the other ones don't work either, come to think of, it causes suicidal and homicidal ideation...

Remember that mother in Texas who killed her five kids in the bath tub. She was on four similar antidepressants.

I bet you'll find the good doc was taken some that pain stuff also.

My girlfriend mentioned to me last night about how she thought too many drug dealers were trying to push their products on American TV stations. (Beer commercial's are more common over here in Canada, which I guess is a kind of drug.) So while I was putting a guitar back together this afternoon, I watched the idiot box for a few hours and she was right. I think CNN alone showed at least one drug companies dope and sometimes two in every commercial break. My GrandMother just dropped by and told us that she didn't have that crap when she was younger because people back then weren't as afraid to die and if you had a hang-up about something you had to tough it out and get by the best you could. Drugs it seems are taking the life out of living and people are more dependent on them then ever before. Do I really need XJC1217 to keep my teeth whiter?

This is shocking! Two doctors would enjoy the most respected status, in our society. Two children, both boys, are dead.
As for him? CONTROL FREAK that he was? Too many men, think they are G-d.
They will have it, their way, or no way.

This is not uncommon in divorce.
Men will cut the mother of their children off($), at the knees, for the sake of a lowered child support guideline.


And, the men who make six figures, are the WORST. They believe that all the money that they make, is all theirs. They don't understand that half of every dollar that they make, belongs to their wife.

And, they refuse to understand their role as providers, and would rather cut her off, and replace her with a new model.

Marriage is a business deal, not just a crush. Family means putting the children first.

This man could only put his will first. He murdered his sons.
Men become insane, when they believe that they are G-d.

miss r,

I'm glad you brought that up. Since there is something incredibly OBVIOUS to those who look. The so-called "jews" that you and most people refer to, are NOT semetic. "Semetic people" are what people nowadays refer to as Palestinians. Yes, that's right folks, the people from the land in the middle east, who have lived there for thousands upon thousands of years have BROWN SKIN, and are commonly known as ARABS. The Palestinians and the other arab people in the middle east have not gone anywhere -- they have kept and tended to THEIR LAND for eons. There was a genetic similarity experiment, that uncovered that the true 'israelis' (aka 'semites') who chosen to remain in Palestine/Israel for the last 2000 years, are genetically INDISTINGUISHABLE from Palestinians (aka, one and the same).

Now boys and girls, can you guess who forced this scientific paper to be REMOVED?!

Besides you don't need any fancy DNA test to tell you this obvious fact. Just look at those who claim they are Jews with "Israeli" blood -- they are WHITE, that's right folks, you have the Arabs/Palstinians who are BROWN, and then you have these bunch of posers/fakes who are WHITE and they claim they are the "true"/"chosen" ones...

... who are they kidding?! They are WHITE, several hundred of years ago, the ruler of the land now known as Khazar (southwest USSR or "far-eastern" europe, look it up on the map) were losing their gri6p on their people. And what better way those hundred of years ago (as it is true now, just observe the "fundamental" christian/muslim/jew mass hysteria happening today), than to impose (back then by force) to convert all civilians to Judaism.

These same Khazar (also referred to as Ashkenazi in old literature) have among them the 'Bauer' family (which changed it's name to the 'Rothschild' (i.e. translated from German to mean "Red Sign", which was a 6-sided red star hung over the family's business. There is significance in the number 6, which from traditional christian belief is the sign of the anti-christ (aka devil, b/c christians believe that there 7 holy virtues, and 7 minus 1 = 6, which symbolized Luthifer whom was 'believed' to be once a most holy angel who through lust fell from God's grace, thus he misses one of the 7 holy virtues) This same sign was adopted as the symbol & flag of the newly created 'Israeli' nation, much to the protest of many 'religious' rabbis at the time. This little fact of history has often been neglected.)

You also hear (especially if you study ancient history) of the "Illuminati" or "Masonaries" which are just like the "Rothschild", who were hated in Europe for believing in 'Satan' (they were often called false judea-christians). The Illuminati/Masonaries are basically the active arm of the Khazars/Ashkenazis, aka their 'descendents' -- much like what the Neo-Cons, the notorious Council for Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Cato Institute (all of which are "Jewish" creations, aka Ashkenazi) is today.

They boast notorious members such as, Kissinger (Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Loas affair), Wolfowitz, Rumsfield, etc (you get the picture).

A friend of mine who claims he is 'Jewish', so I asked him what do you mean? By "blood" or by "religions"? He paused for a while and then confusingly said, "both!". Now, I told him he was a European, and this was very obvious. He was a RED-HEAD (aka from the UK/Ireland), and no mistake about it. You put him in a crown of Irishmen, and you wouldn't be able to tell him apart.

So why did I bring this up?! Because the INTENTIONAL confusion that the Zionist community brainwashes their "chosen people" -- you see you can 'CONVERT' to become a Jew (or marry one and thus forced to convert), and then you are led to believe you have "ancient Israeli blood", just like my friend I described earlier. Someone asks who who you are, you answer 'confidently' that you are jewish, even if you are African (just like the lost 13th tribe in Ethiopia that later was "granted" Israeli citizenship to immigrate to 'Israel'/Palestine).

Why would the Zionists go through with all of the DECEPTION? Simple! Main reason:
-- Wolves in Sheep's clothing.
-- To wage war by way of deception (MOSSAD motto)

Zionists favour the use of 'FALSE FLAG' operations (e.g. Attack on US Liberty, Bombing the Egyptian Hotel, 9/11 -- 5 dancing Israeli Mossad Agents filming and cheering and high-fiving the collapse of the Twin Towers -- of which Larry Silverstein foolishly admitted on camera that WTC7 was "PULLED" (note he recent purchased the building and insurance), and guess who Larry Silverstein is...hint Stein/Berg)

And lastly, let's not forget about the ACTUAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE for the Holohoax (aka Holocaust) of which there is CONTRADITING EVIDENCE to the contrary -- of which, Revisionists are imprisoned to shut them up. If there was such a thing (of which they claim to know where the mass burials are), why don't they DIGG UP the "supposed" mass graves?! Why don't they counter the Revisionists' scientific, logical, and forensic evidence, and make the revisionists look like fools for not believing??? -- but instead they ban their books, make it "unlawful" to question (which is ridiculous since you can investigate and research every OTHER GENOCIDES, such as My Lai, Killing Fileds in Cambodia, Stalin's slaughter of millions of Russians, etc, etc, etc), and imprison them?

If it is true that they have so much "evidence", wouldn't it be easier and just to prove the Revisionists WRONG -- then you can imprision them (though I don't see why asking questions and doing your homework is a 'sin'), and people wouldn't have so much objection.

----- Instead, they just imprisioned them, WITHOUT A FAIR TRIAL, WITHOUT ALLOWING THEM TO PRESENT THE EVIDENCE --- sounds awefully bad way to promote Justice, but a very effective way to CENSOR and INFLICT FEAR AMONG the Population (the same population who are now learning through actual physical evidence and the laws of physics, that 9/11 Official Story is full of SH!T).

But this "Persecution Complex" serves the Zionists very well. It makes it much EASIER to kill/torture/rape a Palestinian or a Goy or a Nigger or a Chink or something that is NOT "jew", since the perpetrators 'sincerely' believe THE WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST THEM, that it's survival of the fittest -- and what can be more fitting than 'God's own chosen people'...

You see how CULTS work?! CULTS promote BLIND DEVOTION, blind devotion that is devoid of reason, logic, or compassion -- but is instead substituted with fear (whether 'god-fearing' or whatnot), hate, and self-pitty...

That is SO true, I just love watching those footages on CNN/Fox/CNBC showing the "Isaeli/Jew" who who protesting being forcibly removed from land they stole from the Palestinians -- and it is so silly since they are almost ALL comprised of WHITE PEOPLE (and I don't mean this is a negative way), white as in EUROPEAN, and NOT BROWN as in Arab.

Man!!!! And so many of them have RED-HEADS... hahahaha, but I guess it's easy to see the obvious if you're objective -- but for these folks, they are spoon-fed lies upon lies in Synagoges, Media, and in their homes that they are "INDEED JEWISH" that they are "INDEED GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE".... etc

uh, we veered a bit off topic here, didn't we?

I don't know what I was thinking this morning in my earlier comment - I must have had the earlier post in mind.

Anyway, it's been a long day. If anyone stays in tune to this story, please keep me posted. I'd like to hear what else leaks out about this family in the next few weeks.

God, I cringe everytime I think about those two boys. Senseless loss of life.

Nothing makes sense anymore.
But don't worry, to be blunt, I'm sure you'll be joining them soon enough. Your once beloved and beautiful America is on her own suicidal roll. You tread , then doggy paddle across the steadily rising ocean of revealed lies that continue to pour from the Bush and company goblet . Yet at the same time, I haven't seen such blind devotion in a free country with enough weapons of every possible variety at your disposal and still carry the rage to use them on innocent civilian's, well , since Hitler.
Some unfortunately choose death to living a lie , while others behave like spiteful brats with an all or nothing attitude and direct blame towards others. Too often I wonder if the home of the brave has totally lost it's senses or is even checking the attic. The whole world knows that not all American's support Bush and the one's who do either live in total denial and refuse to accept the truth or push back for the sake of standing ground no matter who's running the country. The man who threw his poor innocent children off that balcony knew he couldn't go back. He would rather have his wife spend the rest of her day's in heartbreak and sorrow and so for him this would be the ultimate revenge. We can only sink or swim.

to the previous anonymous,

strangely, your style of writing I can understand. You take a unique approach, and one that few considered. That though crazy this man is, what drove him to do so is equally important, indeed even though he is financially secure, or at least should be considering his status in life, there are many ills and wrongs in america, that can even drive a sane man or woman insane.
what he did is really pitiful, but now we can only try to figure out a workable solution that can somehow alleviate this malignent cancer that has over-welmed the us of a.

I think one of the most important lessons this family's tragedy offers is that so-called financial security is MEANINGLESS.

That highly demanded, yet ever elusive status of security is nothing but a colossal LIE.

People like to include taxes with death as the two only certain things in life. (No doubt, some shmuck from the IRS came up with that one.)

But, the TRUTH is that DEATH stands alone as THE ONLY certain thing in life. Therefore, there is no such thing as security in life, but only in death.

It stands to reason that those who live their lives IGNORING certain death (and its implications) while doing whatever it takes to attain that which is unattainable in life - namely security - are royally screwed. They will have lost the opportunity to fulfill their obligations to God and will have gained NOTHING in the meantime.

Maybe this guy realized one part of the equation (that everthing that HE lived for was meaningless), while refusing to aknowledge that there is something out there that is worth living for - an existence that revolves around some BEING other than ourselves.

funny how one moron making a stupid crack about moslems managed to distract so many people.

this is an excellent post. yes, these instances are common enough, but few people ever pause and consider.

all people are people just like you and i. i cannot imagine the suffering that was this man's existence.

his suffering should not be dismissed as a 'crime', or as 'insanity'. sane people are perfectly capable of

doing extremely perverse things.

Murder/suicides have been taking place since day one. Isolated instances are not reasons to indict an entire society. Let's consider the thousands of Palestinian kids who have been maimed or killed by American subsidized weaponry and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi kids who have died as a direct or indirect result of America's foreign policy. Those deaths are the evidence of the sickness of our society. Are those many thousands of kid's deaths less important or less moving than the two who were murdered by their father? Certainly they are more directly linked to our society as a whole.
