COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A former Ohio doctor who was fired before being found not guilty on murder charges in the deaths of 14 patients lost a defamation lawsuit against his former employers on Monday, after a judge stepped in for a jury on grounds the evidence presented by the defendants was incontrovertible.
Franklin County Judge Stephen McIntosh issued his directed verdict against former doctor William Husel, whose attorneys accused Michigan-based Trinity Health and Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus of orchestrating a campaign to destroy his reputation.

Michael Madsen, ‘Reservoir Dogs' and ‘Kill Bill' star, dies at 66

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Madsen, whose menacing characters in 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Kill Bill' made him a standout in Quentin Tarantino's films, has died. He was 66. Madsen was found unresponsive in his home in Malibu, California, on Thursday morning and pronounced dead, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Watch Commander Christopher Jauregui said. He is believed to have died of natural causes and authorities do not suspect any foul play was involved. Madsen's manager Ron Smith said cardiac arrest was the apparent cause. Madsen's career spanned more than 300 credits stretching back to the early 1980s, many in low budget films. But his most memorable screen moment may have been the sadistic torture of a captured police officer — while dancing to Stealers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle with You' — as Mr. Blonde in 1992's 'Reservoir Dogs.' He would become a Tarantino regular, appearing in the 'Kill Bill' films and 'The Hateful Eight.' 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films 'Resurrection Road,' 'Concessions and 'Cookbook for Southern Housewives,' and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,' his managers Smith and Susan Ferris and publicist Liz Rodriguez said in a statement. They added that he 'was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.'

Families wept over the bodies from a strike that hit a tent camp during the night as displaced people slept in southern Gaza. At least 13 members of a single family were killed, including at least six children under 12.
