The resident said Henry was living alone in his apartment and told the post that the physician was almost always out of town for work. The neighbour also noted that he worked most of the time. The resident added that the slain doctor sporadically entertained people in his house.

"There were times when he was working at the hospital. He’ll come driving in like really early in the morning and I’ve seen him walk into the garage with his hospital gear and stuff on."

The resident, who described Henry as “cordial,” sympathized with the gruesome manner in which the doctor was killed, adding that it was an unfortunate incident that occurred during the holidays.

“It sucks. It really does. Nobody wants to hear stuff like this around any holiday, especially Christmas. Nobody deserves to die like that, especially not him. This person is a sicko, man.”

He added:

“This person or group of persons that did this to him, they are going to get them,” the resident predicted. “They are going to nab them. They have cameras all over the place.”

As per the post, police have yet to identify a suspect in the slaying of the physician who reportedly practised at Children’s Hospital New Orleans and Nyack Hospital.
