Ecker, 25, committed suicide in 2009 in front of his father, of Champion, after he had been under the care of the physicians for about nine months.

A settlement agreement has been approved between father-and-son physicians Drs. Frank and Zachary Veres of Champion and the estate of a patient who committed suicide.

Trumbull County Probate Judge Thomas A. Swift has approved the settlement Monday that pays the estate of Michael Ecker of Champion $200,000.

The agreement settles a civil suit the estate filed in 2010 against the physicians that went to trial in January and ended in a mistrial after jurors reported that they were “hopelessly deadlocked.”
