A psychiatrist and federal health official who was nationally known for his work in schizophrenia was found slain in his private north Bethesda office yesterday, immediately after seeing a patient.

Police said they were questioning a 19-year-old man who appeared to be the only suspect in the death of Wayne S. Fenton, 53.

Fenton was seeing the patient, who was believed to be "very dangerous," because another psychiatrist was having trouble with him, said Tom Bernard, an entertainment industry executive who was a longtime friend of Fenton's.
