British physician and serial killer (b. Jan. 14, 1946, Nottingham, Eng.—d. Jan. 13, 2004, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Eng.), was given the sobriquet “Dr. Death” after it became known that he had killed at least 215 of his patients over a 23-year period. Shipman began working as a general practitioner in Todmorden, Lancashire, in 1974 but was soon discovered to be addicted to the painkiller pethidine. After treatment he resumed practice in the Manchester suburb of Hyde in 1977, and he opened his own private practice there in 1993. It was not until he forged the will of one of his victims in 1998 that he was caught; in 2000 he was convicted of having murdered 15 patients by injecting them with lethal doses of painkillers and was given 15 life sentences. An official inquiry concluded in 2002 that he had killed between 215 and 260 of his patients. He was found hanged from the bars of his cell window in the Wakefield prison.
