Ray Combs attempted suicide several times
The Associated Press
GLENDALE, Calif. — Former Family Feud host Ray Combs had tried for weeks to commit suicide, including banging his head against the wall, before hanging himself with bedsheets in a mental ward.
Combs, a 40-year-old father of six,
apparently was anguished over his
pending divorce, police Sgt. Rick
Young said Monday.
The host of The New Family Feud from 1988 to 1994, Combs was taken to Glendale Adventist Medical Center on Saturday with head injuries and was admitted for mental observation, Young said.
About 14 hours later, hospital staff found he had hanged himself in a closet. He left no note, and officials are not sure exactly when he died.
"He had attempted numerous times
during the past couple of weeks." Young said. "We have information that over the past several days he was banging his head against walls."
The hospital knew that Combs was suicidal, but such patients normally are not under constant watch, Young said. They are put into secured rooms supposed to contain nothing they can use to hurt themselves.
"People say those are big shoes to fill," Combs said. "I don't have to wear his shoes. I've got my own."
In a 1988 interview, Combs, a stand-up comedian, said he had no qualms about following Richard Dawson as host of The New Family Feud.
FDA approves new AIDS test
But he suffered several personal and professional setbacks in recent years, including being replaced by Dawson in 194. He was temporarily paralyzed in a July 1994 car accident.
WASHINGTON — Americans got two new tests for the AIDS virus Monday; one to more easily detect infection and the other to predict how fast patients with the deadly disease will sicken.
The Associated Press
The Food and Drug Administration called Epipc Inc.'s Orasure the first oral test that appears to be as reliable as the standard blood test to diagnose the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
Orasure uses a treated cotton pad to scrape a tissue sample from between the gum and cheek. The sample is tested for HIV antibodies, and doctors predicted wide use by people at risk for HIV but who shunned blood tests.
Patients who already know they're infected can find out just how much HIV is floating in their
blood with Hoffman-La Roche's Amplicor test, also approved Monday.
But the question is whether patients will want this test, said Curtis Scribner, the FDA deputy director of blood research. Studies show that patients with high HIV blood levels are more likely to sicken fast — but nobody knows if drugs that lower those blood levels will significantly reduce the risk of death, or even if changes in HIV amounts signal that it's time to change treatments, he said.
"We are at the cutting edge of science and medicine right here." Scribner said. "We just have not answered those questions yet."
Hoffman-La Roche will offer baseline Ampliicrosting for free to any HIV-infected patient for 60 days starting June 17. Later, the test will cost $150 to $200.
But on Monday, the FDA approved a new version of Orasure that allows Western blot testing of the oral sample instead of blood.
Doctors now gauge AIDS progression by measuring levels of an immune cell called CD4 that is a main target of HIV. But some people have no AIDS symptoms despite very low CD4 levels.
People who tested positive then had to undergo a more sensitive blood test, called the Western blot, to be sure they had the deadly virus.
The first generation of Orasure was approved in 1994, but it used a less sensitive method to screen for HIV antibodies, called the ELISA test.
Clinical trials showed the Orasure Western blot test was 99.9 percent as accurate as the traditional blood test.
"It's exactly the same," said the
"Now, that confirmation can occur right on the oral fluids," he said.
FDA's Scribner. "Many people don't like to get stuck for a blood sample, so in this case they could use an oral fluid sample."
The FDA approved the original Orapture because doctors needed a way to reach people at risk of HIV but who shunned blood tests, Scribner explained. The theory was that a positive oral test would persuade such patients to accept a little bloodletting for confirmation that they were infected.
An oral test is good for health workers, too, because they won't run the risk of sticking themselves with the needle they just used on a possibly infected patient, explained Donna Sturgess of SmithKline Beecham, which will sell the new Orasure.
