I don't know him. But was it Lyme related?
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
OH NO! He was one of my LLMDs. He was so kind and patient. I think he had Lyme disease as well. I am so sad to hear this.
RIP Dr. Burke.

OH my - my husband went to him for a short time. Does anyone know what happened? I know he had lyme himself but wonder if it was related?
So sorry to hear this.

He just got married maybe 6 months ago. Very sad indeed. I wonder what it was and what will happen to his patients.

I've never heard of him but that is horrible.
When Lyme victims die young I always wonder why.
That's a big loss. Most LLMDs are very brave and outstanding human beings to do what they do.
RIP

Anyone know of an update on this (cause of death)? My friend used to be a patient of his and is very concerned.

Last week, my LLMD told me Dr. Burke died of a heart attack, related to lyme of course.
