'Doctor Death' may have killed over 60 patients in murder spree A doctor suspected of killing four patients "just for the thrill of it" may have been responsible for the deaths of at least 60 people, having given them a lethal cocktail of drugs before setting fire to their homes.
In it, he discusses a study that assumes a high number of unreported cases, since the murder of people in need of care is "not easy to prove", saying that the deaths are often "classified as natural deaths in the first autopsy".
Now investigators are looking into whether he is of sound mind and if he can be held criminally responsible for his actions, with new reports in Germany saying that investigators are now looking into at least 60 suspicious deaths.
So far, in more than 10 cases, it has been confirmed that a lethal cocktail of drugs was allegedly administered by the doctor to elderly and seriously ill patients in their homes.
Prosecutors now believe that the palliative care doctor killed elderly people out of sheer bloodlust and there may have been more than 60 victims.
