About Harold Shipman

Harold Shipman was a medical doctor from England known for killing up to 250 elderly patients for unknown reasons.

Shipman was serving a life sentence before he committed suicide in jail. He was the only British doctor to have been convicted of patient murder.

Shipman died by suicide after he hanged himself in his prison cell at HM Prison Wakefield at 6:20 a.m. on 13 January 2004.

He was aged 57.

Reports from the Prison Service showed that he had “hanged himself from the window bars of his cell with his bed sheets.”

The Shipman Inquiry which was an investigative panel set up to examine Shipman’s crimes, disclosed that Shipman targeted vulnerable elderly people in good health, who trusted him as their doctor.

He had murdered his victims by “prescribing a fatal dose of drugs.”

Shipman as a result, earned the nickname “Dr. Death” and “The Angel of Death”.
