I am so sorry to hear that Doug's case had a tragic ending. He has such a kind look to his face and I am sorry the world did not get to enjoy his many gifts. I am relieved there is a closure for the family , but we will always remember Douglas. May he rest in eternal peace and may the family be comforted by cherished memories
