A beloved Kentucky doctor died in a freak accident after falling down basement stairs in the middle of the night during a trip to the bathroom.

Dr. James Turpin, an emergency room doctor, confused his doors when he got up in the middle of the night Sunday to use the bathroom, friend and colleague Dr. Eric Guerrant told WKTY.

Turpin, 53, suffered serious trauma and was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday.

He leaves behind his wife of 25 years, Amy Harrison Turpin, and son, Jon Turpin.

“Of all the roles he had, being a father and husband meant the most to him,” his obituary states.
