Police have reportedly found the body of Buffalo, N.Y., trauma surgeon suspected of murdering his ex-girlfriend, according to NBC News affiliate WGRZ.

The body of Timothy Jorden was found in the woods near his home in Lake View, N.Y. Sources said he was wearing hospital scrubs, WGRZ reported. A neighbor reported hearing a gunshot in the area around 9 AM.

Police began their search for Jordan, 49, after the death of hospital administrative assistant Jacqueline Wisniewski, 33, who was found dead in a stairwell at the Erie County Medical Center.

A friend of the murder victim says when Wisniewski and Jordan broke up, he wouldn’t let go.

She said Jorden had once held Wisniewski captive in her home for a day and a half, wielding a knife, and he also put a GPS tracking device in her car.

One of Jordan’s colleagues also said that he’d lost at least 75 pounds in the last few months. He had also neglected the upkeep of his home, according to neighbors.

Jordan  has a medical degree from the University of Buffalo and trained at the Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash.
