A pathologist acquitted in the mercy killing of his cancer-stricken wife agreed to give up his medical license rather than face a professional misconduct charge.

The Florida Board of Medicine accepted Peter Rosier’s license and an accompanying letter Friday without comment.

Rosier, 52, could have contested the charge but his psychiatrist said Rosier realized he was not emotionally able to practice medicine.
