Investigation Into Rockville Doctor’s Death Continues

Police are still trying to piece together the chain of events that led to the suspicious death of a Rockville doctor whose body was found inside his home in the Willows community Thursday.

Chandrasekhar Korapati, 50, was a doctor of nephrology and internal medicine. His 19-year-old son called 911 Thursday morning to report that his father wasn’t breathing.

When police arrived at the home, at 9800 block of Juniper Hill Road, they determined Korapati was dead.

Police said family members were being questioned. No arrests have been made.

The night before Korapati was found dead, police said he got into an altercation with the son who made the 911 call and his 20-year-old daughter.

Neighbors said they were used to seeing police cars at the Korapati residence, several news outlets have reported.

According to court records accessed online, Korapati was the subject of two protective orders for domestic violence filed in Montgomery County District Court.

A judge in 2006 granted a protective order against Korapati in which he was forced to leave his home. Another protective order was granted against Korapati in 2008 but was dismissed because the person who filed it failed to appear in court. It was not clear from court records accessed online who filed for the protective orders.
