The search for a missing Nashville surgeon in Dekalb County has long ended, and now a court document shows his wife holds out little hope for his return.
Dr. William Coltharp, a 55-year-old cardiothoracic surgeon at Saint Thomas Hospital, went missing Oct. 2 while kayaking on Center Hill Lake. He last told his wife he’d be home for dinner, but didn’t show up. His kayak was found the next day about a mile from where he was last seen.
Dekalb County Sheriff Patrick Ray said the search has been called off, but they’re not yet giving up hope he might be alive.
But according to documents filed in Davidson County’s probate court, Coltharp’s wife isn’t as optimistic.
“He is believed to have died on Center Hill Lake, but his remains have not yet been found,” reads a line in paperwork Nicole Coltharp filed to begin dealing with more than $120,000 associated with her husband’s estate. She’s asking a conservator be appointed on his behalf.
