Harold Shipman aka Dr. Death - Ep. 50

Freshly Brewed Noir

In this episode we will discuss Harold Shipman a.k.a. Dr. Death. Shipman was a general practitioner from the United Kingdom who is estimated to have killed 250 of his patients, with the majority being women over the age of 40, with lethal injections of morphine, or by prescribing high amounts of a medication. 218 of those murders were committed between 1975 and 1998. Since most of his murders can be confirmed through medical records and the fact that he would be the last person with the patient before they died abruptly, he is considered one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history.
