Police now believe that yesterday’s explosion on the Upper East Side was a failed suicide attempt by a deranged doc that was on the verge of losing his house/office in a bitter divorce. Shortly before 8:40 am Dr. Nicholas Bartha sent out a rambling 14-page email in which he vowed to “die in his house” to over a dozen people, before opening up the gas lines and blowing the joint up.
“When you read these lines your life will change forever. You deserve it,” the hulking physician ominously wrote his wife of 29 years, Cordula. “You will be transformed from gold digger to ash and RUBBISH digger.”
Bartha told her, “I will leave the house only if I am dead. You ridiculed me. You should have taken it seriously.”
The 66-year-old doctor .e-mailed the poison-pen missive to at least a dozen other people and organizations - including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Fox News Channel - shortly .before the failed suicide blast that left him critically burned and buried. The city was rocked about 8:40 a.m. when, officials believe, Bartha opened up the gas lines in his 19th century building before sparking the blast that reduced the home to rubble and sent flames and smoke high into the clear morning sky.
This is exactly why people should not get married. It drives you to write rambling, incoherant 14-page emails before blowing your own house up…WHILE YOU’RE INSIDE IT.
But as Gawker notes, Bartha also donated $250 to the Bush campaign so it’s hard to tell whether blowing himself up was because of the divorce or just pangs of guilt for voting for an idiot.
