Dr. Frank Ryan’s Final Journey

TMZ has learned Dr. Frank Ryan — plastic surgeon to the stars — will be laid to rest in Toledo, Ohio … where he was born and raised.

Sources close to the family tell us the doctor’s remains will stay in Malibu for the next couple of days for a private memorial service for the doc’s closest friends. Sometime after the service, Dr. Ryan’s remains will be transported back to Ohio, where he will be laid to rest.

As we previously reported, Dr. Ryan — the guy who worked on Heidi Montag — was killed this past Monday when his Jeep veered off of Pacific Coast Highway and rolled down an embankment.

Dr. Frank Ryan’s Dog — A Survivor

TMZ has learned Jill, Dr. Frank Ryan’s border collie — who survived the crash that took the doctor’s life — will be OK.

Sources connected with the treatment of the dog tell us, the dog is stable and should recover from her eye and paw injuries. One person from the clinic where the dog was taken after the crash told us, “The CHP was instrumental in saving the dog, by taking her to an emergency facility that was equipped to handle her injuries.”

We’re told the dog was released today to a member of the staff at Dr. Ryan’s ranch.  The dog was then taken to her regular vet, who checked Jill out and gave her “a clean bill of health.”  The dog is on her way back to the ranch right now.

Candlelight Vigil Planned for Dr. Frank Ryan

TMZ has learned … Dr. Frank Ryan’s family, friends and staff are coming together to organize a candlelight vigil for the Hollywood surgeon tonight in Malibu.

The event will take place at 7:30 PM at Zuma Beach — located at 30000 Pacific Coast Highway … roughly 12 miles from the spot on PCH where Dr. Ryan lost control of his jeep yesterday and crashed down into an embankment.

We’re told friends and family wanted the vigil at that particular spot because, “Dr. Ryan LOVED that area … and it is close to his ranch.”

We’re told the event is open to “anyone who knew him.”
