October 30, 2009 - 3:22pm (Print)

Authorities today are investigating the "very suspicious" death of a Newton man identified by sources as Richard Schroeder, a retired former U.S. marshal who has worked as a private investigator.

Schroeder spent many years providing security for Dr. George Tiller, the physician and abortion provider assassinated in May of this year, in his church by anti-choice activist Scott Roeder:

From The Wichita Eagle:

Richard Schroeder helped protect Dr. George Tiller - first as a U.S. marshal and later as a private detective. Schroeder also got to know Tiller on a personal level and thought of him as a friend.

Schroeder first provided protection for Dr. Tiller during 1991's "Summer of Mercy" series of protests. Most recently. Richard Schroeder was set to run a work release center in Wichita to accomodate overflow prisoners from a county jail.

Schroeder was allegedly found last night by his wife, in his driveway with head injuries. Though he was taken by ambulance to the hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The National Organization for Women released a statement today expressing condolences on Schroeder's death.

NEWTON —Retired U.S. marshal Richard Schroeder died of natural causes outside his Newton home, authorities said this afternoon.

Newton police initially labeled Schroeder's death suspicious, but they said the initial results of an autopsy have allowed them to rule out the possibility of foul play.
