Ted Eastburn, a former Colorado Springs City Councilman and a cardiologist with Memorial Hospital, committed suicide this morning at the hospital.
Police said hospital staff members reported hearing a gunshot fired from inside a locked office. When police arrived they found the body.
Eastburn was elected to the council in 1999 and served a term. He ran for mayor in 2003 but was defeated by Lionel Rivera.
Hospital officials did not comment, but said they are preparing a release.
