Dr. Brian Nadler was charged with first-degree murder by Ontario Provincial Police on Friday.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario says Nadler has now been suspended. It says it took immediate action to suspend Nadler’s licence after being notified of the allegations against him.

“We recognize that this is an extraordinarily challenging time for the community,” reads a statement from CPSO.

The college says it’s working with police and that it will take whatever steps are necessary to protect the public.

Police identified Nadler’s alleged victim as Albert Poidinger of Point-Claire, Que., on Monday.

Poidinger was pronounced dead on March 25 at the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital.
