MONTCALM COUNTY (WKZO AM/FM) — A Kent County Physician who faced a court date this coming week to face charges that he sexually assaulted patients has been found dead near the Flat River in a State Game Area in Montcalm County.
His 2015 Dodge Ram Longhorn pickup truck was parked nearby.
Dr. Steven Scranton had been missing from his home in Cannon Township since Wednesday when he left with a gun.
Investigators believe he may have shot himself rather than face trial and possibly prison. An autopsy is planned.
