An anesthesiologist accused of trying to kill his wife would have had the knowledge and access to do so, according to his former boss, who said it would be “not hard” for someone in the field to commit murder.

“Would it be hard for an anesthesiologist to commit murder? I would say no,” Dr. Jonathan Waters said of his former mentee, Dr. Gerhardt Konig, in an interview on “Good Morning America.” “The drugs that we have typically are intended to take you to the edge of death.”

Waters, who supervised Konig, said he was stunned by the allegations.

“They had everything going for them. I truly don’t understand what happened,” he said.

He described Konig as intelligent and said he never saw him lose his temper — a characterization that sharply contrasts with the violent allegations now at the center of the doctor’s Maui trial.

“He was a smart guy… quite intelligent,” Waters said. “I never saw Gerhardt have a temper or lose his temper.”
