American paediatrician 'waterboarded his own daughter'
An American paediatrician known for his research into near-death experiences in children has been accused of waterboarding his own 11-year-old daughter.
Dr Melvin Morse, 58, who has appeared on television in the US to discuss his work on out-of-body experiences, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said he used the controversial simulated drowning technique, more typically associated with the interrogation of terrorism suspects, at least four times over two years starting in May 2009.
