He also discusses healthcare killers like Harold Shipman, many of whom used lethal levels of medications.
In January 2004, Shipman hanged himself in his cell on the eve of his 58th birthday.
In 1885, he partnered with Asa Shipman and founded The Ideal Pen Company, but that didn't last.
Shipman, a British general practitioner, injected as many as 260 of his patients with a lethal chemical cocktail.
Ten years later, Ellen Shipman, who was also connected with the Cornish Art Colony,
redesigned the formal plantings near the Mansion.
When a particularly nasty Shipman was knocked overboard in a storm on their Mayflower voyage,
Bradford wrote that it was because of God's will.
