Nancy Shaw Wiki – Biography
Nancy Shaw was found dead in a ditch on the side of a road in Lyons, about 80 miles west of Savannah, in the early morning hours Thursday, WTOC reported.
She was a longtime internist at the Meadows Regional Medical Center located in the next town over in Vidalia, Ga. An autopsy confirmed she died from an animal attack, the Lyons Police Department said. A Georgia doctor found dead in a ditch on the side of the road was likely killed by a pack of dogs, police say.
Shaw graduated from Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, R.I. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Saint Raphael Hospital in New Haven, Conn., before relocating to Georgia. She was a member of the American Medical Association.

Cause of Death
Police out on patrol spotted a car pulled over on the wrong side of the road on Skyline Blvd. around 3 a.m. with its engine still running and door open.
An officer “got out of the patrol car to investigate and found a female that was deceased in the ditch,” Lyons Police Chief Wesley Walker told WTOC. Members of the department recognized the body, as Shaw often stopped by the police station to check on the officers she treated, Walker said.
“She was that kind of person. She was a caring person. She was a friend of ours. When I realized who it was, it was devastating,” he said.
Dr. Nancy Shaw, 62, was found dead in a ditch on the side of a road in Lyons, about 80 miles west of Savannah, in the early morning hours Thursday, WTOC reported.
