Nurse Kills 38 Patients Because They Annoyed Her — Takes Selfies With Their Corpses
Daniela Poggiali, a 42-year-old nurse working at a hospital in northeastern Italy, has been arrested for an ongoing investigation into the deaths of 38 patients who died during her shift.
According to the New York Post, the nurse may have injected the patients with a deadly dose of potassium chloride simply because they or their visiting friends and family annoyed her. Potassium chloride injections leave no trace in the body after a few days, making most of the nurse’s murders very hard to prove.
However, Poggiali has been taken into custody for the murder of a 78-year-old patient named Rosa Calderoni who died from a potassium chloride injection that was recent enough to prove the nurse’s guilt. Calderoni had been admitted to the hospital for a routine illness and died suddenly. Investigators ran tests after her death and found high traces of potassium, which can result in cardiac arrest.
The elderly woman’s death tipped off police that the other mysterious deaths may have been foul play, namely the work of Daniela Poggiali. Authorities will continue to investigate the 37 other mysterious deaths, but it may be very challenging to prove Poggiali had any involvement. Daniela Poggiali lives in the town of Lugo.
Gawker reported that Poggiali’s coworkers were suspicious that she might have had something to do with the death of the 38 victims because the condition of certain patients would worsen during her shift, often leading to their death.
“We wondered whether these deaths could be so frequent without anyone doing anything,” said a coworker.
