From the Seroquel Lawsuit Blog, Dr. Charles Schulz , University of Minnesota, Dan Markingson and the Seroquel CAFE study--the UMN says no further discussion, calls Carl Elliott a 'crusader':
"Journalist William Heisel asks University of Minnesota's Dr. Charles Schulz for interview-no reply--PR says no more discussion of Dan Markingson's case, and calls Carl Elliott a crusader against the University and Dr. Charles Schulz.
Schulz, was the principal investigator in the CAFE study of Seroquel, which hangs over the University as a dark cloud, due to the death--suicide--of Dan Markingson. Heisel, in persuit of a more detailed discussion with Schulz, never heard from Dr.Schulz (who is currently overseeing a Seroquel XR trial for Borderline at the UMN), but did receive an email from the public relations department representative. What transpired in that email essentially demotes Carl Elliott, a bioethicist at the University of Minnesota into a one-man crusader against the University and Dr. Schulz. The University has taken a stand now, that no more discussion is necessary regarding the death of Dan Markingson, in fact the UMN is attempting to disconnect the death and the trial, all of it."

"Just the facts mam" We need Joe Friday back to enlighten Mr. Paquette, the PR mouthpiece for the University of Minnesota. The "facts," not fiction as he refers to them are, Professor Elliott has had only one thing on his agenda, and that is/was the search for truth. That's something Mr. Paquette and the U-MN have never found to be pertinent. Mr. Paquette is a little frustrated that the media seems to give attention to the "fiction" as he calls it of the Carl Elliotts work and the Markingson case. Well folks; the FACTS are that SC Schulz has made a living traveling the globe disseminating inaccurate and at times fraudulent data regarding Seroquel all the while being first in line to cash his pharma check. Carl Elliott has already forgotten more ethics than Schulz and Paquette can ever dream of understanding.
