A U.K. hospital has suspended a prominent children’s brain doctor after photos emerged allegedly showing him snorting cocaine.

The Daily Mail published photographs that allegedly show Colin Ferrie, 51, of Leeds General Infirmary snorting cocaine and taking the illegal party drug GHB before going on-call.

The hospital ordered an inquiry into the matter and suspended Ferrie over the report.

The video was reportedly taken on Dec. 17 by an unknown man, according to the report.

A pediatric neurologist, Ferrie is one of the country’s leading children’s brain doctors.
