PIGEON FORGE — Well-known physician Edward Wear died Thursday of what authorities believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Pigeon Forge Police Chief Jack Baldwin reported Wear’s body was found at his family farm on Wears Valley Road. Wear’s death was still under investigation Friday, but Baldwin said, “It appears, upon preliminary investigation, that Wear died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” he said. “However, the investigation is still ongoing.” Wear was an internal physician with Covenant Managed Physicians on Wears Valley Road, and had been on staff at Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center since 1980. “We are deeply saddened by Dr. Wear’s passing, and will miss this wonderful physician, teacher, and friend,” said Ellen Wilhoit, president of Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center. Some of the staff at Wear’s practice plan to remain there for a few weeks to help patients with moving to other physicians, said Amanda Brabson Paletz, communications manager for Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center. The hospital, like the practice, is affiliated with Covenant Health. “Patients can continue to call his office during normal business hours if they’ve got questions about their medical records or getting transferred to another physician,” Paletz said. His office can be reached by calling 428-7360.
