I bet dr death is a heartless man and how many did he killed? And the other patients had been killed wont forgive him And I think the judge is probably letting him kill more people? Pls tell me
This dude is the reason the Controlled Drugs regulation was tightened greatly in the UK. CDs, such as opioids and barbiturates have more legal requirements to fulfil before they’re dispensed. As a pharmacy student his name constantly comes up in our ethics and legal module
The police departments and hospitals were inept. It should have been noticed, that people in normal health were dying. Even the insurance companies should have questioned it.
My brother promised if I hit 1k subs by April he will buy me something to improve my videos. I really need that! Sorry for self promo, not a bot. (Replying to some comments to prove it)
What's so frustrating about this case is that he was sooo sloppy and could have easily been stopped earlier if different administrations had done their job. Failure to get caught so many times reinforced his ego and further supported his murder sprees.
@@sydneyc8256p there it is, the racial argument. Shut the hell up, its not because hes white. It’s because hes a doctor. A black man and a white man would have had the same go in the same situation. It’s because hes a doctor and people usually trust their doctors whole heartedly especially the elderly. Mainly due to lack of medical knowledge themselves. Stating race as a catalyst is just ignorant
Mind blowing. It’s the system AGAIN that failed those victims. It started with a written warning instead of incriminating a criminal, then completely neglecting a background check when multiple murders were suspected. Not surprising he lived a long “fulfilling” life
Should just say, when Shipman was signing off the deaths, you only needed 1 doctor to do so. It wasn’t until after he went to jail that the rule changed, stating there must be two doctors from different surgeries to authorise.
He lived/ worked in my home town and was the doctor of a family friend. She says how much she liked and trusted him, and how caring etc he was to her and he really helped her after her husband dies. Even though he never physically hurt her, she was really destroyed by what he did. Shows that you can be traumatised without being a victim.
I mean... I think to every normal person both of those are horrifying things to be, but yea I do understand your point that it isn’t the correct term to use.
@@WCWThunderRosa I would care. The psychology behind those things are different, and if we ever stand a chance of understanding the minds of people like this, we need to define the terms and understand them.
I had an art teacher who looked just like Shipman. The killing ruined his life too as he was a teacher in England. Poor man was a very gentle soul but you couldn't look at him with out see the doctor
Same thing happened to my grandad lmao, back during Shipman's trial in 2002, I think it was, he was wandering around outside Preston crown court and a camera crew ran up to him for an interview. He found the funny side of it but you can imagine how angry people could get if they saw "Harold Shipman" walking around.
Same with my friend brother, he actually committed suicide because people thought he was one of the Jamie Bulger killers after they were released with new identities. Tragic :-(

The level of negligence in this case is awful. Those were peoples’ grandparents, parents, siblings, friends. They may have been old or terminal but they still deserved to live out the rest of their days peacefully. He robbed them of what little time they had left and that’s cruel. He spared them no time to say goodbye.
There have been lots of "doctor death"s throughout history. Australia has one too, same for the States - an othopaedic surgeon from memory. Awful stuff.
@@Cj-sb9vn It really is. He was also the doctor of my mum’s best friend; she was a massive hypochondriac so saw him pretty regularly - fortunately she was pretty young at the time so didn’t fit his victim profile but it’s scary nonetheless.
no called him being a narcissist and they are very good at making you look wrong even when u give them proof they leave some like am i wrong ?? he was a psychopath not
When I saw the title, I thought this was about Dr. Kevorkian and that this video was gonna demonize that hero. Instead I learned about a story far more sinister.
To be fair, we're all taught not to promise "everything will be ok" even for the most mundane procedures... but maybe his tone left a particular impression on your grandmother.
Society teaches you to trust doctors because their professionals you'd never think ones a serial killer. That's why he got away with his crimes for so long.
I grew up in and around Hyde and most of the kids in my primary school class claimed they knew him from trips to the doctors but I don't know if that's true. Whenever people ask what my hometown is known for, I usually say "the hat-works and Harold Shipman" then watch their faces go 😶
I think his logic for the killings was that he was ending the "misery" of the old and terminally ill and in doing so he was helping his mother who was in pain. He took the choice of living from hundreds of others just so he could get closure of his mum's death.
I feel like he did it cause he felt devastated after his mother’s death, so he used something that they gave her in order to murder others so that their family could feel the pain that he felt 🤷🏼♀️ maybe idk, just my thoughts 💭
It's definitely about the mother and I like this take. Another commenter posited that maybe he was so traumatized or excited by her death that he kept recreating those circumstances in other dying old women.
My dad always told me about him.. due to my dad living not that far to him when he was growing up.. its crazy how it’s so close to me and how scary it is to have trust in someone who can harm you..
I am organally from Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside which Hyde is a part of and my childhood GP was Harold Shipmans GP. Tameside has quite a horrible history with links to Shipman, the Moors murders as well as the two female police officers who where killed by Dale Cregan in 2012. I am a massive true crime fan who thinks there is so much to learn about our society and how we can learn and improve by studying how these criminals work who they target and why.
I live in Hyde, Tameside and walk past where he used to work every time I go to do my shopping. My Grandad had an appointment with him once but luckily it got cancelled. Also one of his friend's mother died after being killed by Dr. Death
he’s from where my dad grew up and his old pharmacy’s been turned into a takeaway or a shop and every time we drive past to go see my nan we point out where it was. weird how such a morbid topic has become an i joke in the family
My dad was a policeman in Manchester at the time and he told me when shipman was put away, he kept killing in prison by telling inmates how to painlessly kill themselves.
@CitizenOWorld Inmates hoard medication and create very dangerous and sophisticated weapons in prison. They can easily hurt and even kill themselves and others if they choose to do so. -Correctional Officer, 8+ years

Not all doctors are murderers, very few have been :P as a doctor, I’m so sorry that your government does not provide free healthcare for its people, but I hope that you wouldn’t hesitate to seek medical help in the future should you need it (I hope you won’t need it at all though 😊).
@@TakemesomewhereniceMCR ..I been to the Ashton Under Lynn courts one time when I was a witness to a violent attack, the courts there don't mess around at all. I am a British American and was raised between Ashton-Under-Lynn and Florida all my life since childhood. My ex and daughters were both his patients at one time. I seen him a couple times for diabetic meds but nothing past that. He always have me a uneasy feeling when I did see him. Bought a home in Florida so I am back in Florida now but my two daughters are still in Ashton-Under-Lynn and go back near every year or they come to Florida.
Welcome to the newest episode of "Why do I always watch these in bed when everyone who lives with me is out" Today we will be ensuring you lie awake staring at the ceiling and questioning humanity... Again
I met him. His surgery was 15 mins walk from my house in Hyde. I also knew the Kathleen Grundy the lady Mayoress who’s killing sett off the investigation. Possibly the worlds worst serial killer. Looking forward to watching this!
My only 2 critiques (bcs I do want this channel to thrive) as a film-student, etc are: the narrator is somewhat robotic, perhaps reading the script more times would help - I say this bcs I do the same unintentionally. Lastly, his motives weren't unknown, if anything, they are spelled out amongst his crimes, and own words - so that sentence at the beginning did turn me off for a bit, the rest of the video, however, was much more informative than most regarding this particular case. Thank You for keeping the Unsolved Legacy active
Hi, film grad and current employee at WB, the video is supposed to be informative rather than comedic like older unsolved videos, so it’s more appropriate for the narrator to be more monotone/robotic because she isn’t giving her own opinion or bias. And although we may be able to see patterns and essentially get at why he did that, he never explicitly said WHY, we can only speculate. So by definition, his motive is unknown. Great perspective and input but those changes would not necessarily make the video better or worse
I live in Wakefield & people still talk about Shipman to this day - he was kept in an underground cell at HMP Wakefield and complete isolated from other inmates. HMP Wakefield is an incredibly high security prison that houses some of England’s most prolific murderers, rapists and paedophiles. It’s worth reading the prison’s Wikipedia page!
I live half a mile from Hyde town center and I can't think of anything in it that's decent. It once had a Gabbotts.. Thats gone. It's got a quite good lawnmower shop I guess.....
Shipman visited my grandmother in Newton Aycliffe My grandfather was there whenever he visited, he was a medic in WW2 so he knew what he was trying to inject
@Salazar Slytherin ... The news reported a unusual tornado outbreak was going to happen today. If you were so concerned you would of already made emergency plans so posting online while watching a video, you obviously are not really concerned.
Cases like these are why I don't trust health professionals. They can say and do so much with little to no repercussions under the guise of helping the sick and in need. I am highly apprehensive when I go to any doctor because their word is valued so much more over the word of patients and their families.
People do have a tendency of holding doctors at some higher esteem which I don't get. They just went to school for a really long time. They're just human beings like the rest of us. Maybe I feel that way because my mom is a nurse and she's always questioning doctors and whenever she has a difficult one (by which I mean horrible bedside manner) she tells them off or reports them
I was thinking that what if Shipman murdered these patients because he enacted out his nightmare of his mother's death. Some people tend to make their nightmares a reality.
Do they not do background checks when hiring doctors in the UK? I don’t understand how they would need to be told of his conviction, it should be on his record
This guy used to live where I grow up only a couple steers away tho he wasn’t a doctor in the Area and it pretty much the secret that no ones talks about
I'm really thrown on the cremation. lol. He just... had them cremated on his own authority? Was there never any challenge to that from families? Or do most people do cremation anyway, so they don't question it? Edit: Haha, that's how he was caught lol. Still though, did no other families challenge it?
He without a doubt was a phycopathic human being!! It makes me wonder why people do the things that they do and what in the world was going through their mind?! Talk about being disturbed!!!!
What if... hear me out, it was all assisted suicide? What if that was his side hussle and that's why he never said anything about it because he swore to help them? Like my grandma died of cancer and towards the end it was brutal and if someone had offered a way out I think we would have definitely taken it.
I wonder if this was who they based that character on the show "Why Women Kill" on? Obviously loosely based but there's some similarities. A veterinarian (instead of a doctor for humans) that mercy killed terminally ill people he met via lethal injection (put them "to sleep"). In the show he watched and helped his chronically ill mother kill herself by overdose and grew up believing he was helping to end suffering by killing.
True crime has taught me to assume the most unassuming people are the most dangerous
This comment though.
I bet dr death is a heartless man and how many did he killed?
And the other patients had been killed wont forgive him
And I think the judge is probably letting him kill more people? Pls tell me
Alfred Hitchcock could have told you THAT.
The most disturbing killers I met in prison. Looked like they wont hurt a fly

Sorry for self promo, not a bot. (Replying to some comments to prove it)
it seems he was replaying his mother's death over and over again. it either pleased him to see her dying or traumatized him. go figure.
Maybe it was his way of controlling that situation in a way? Idk just some idea this comment gave me.
Just looked it up and his mother died at 83, so what I said makes more sense now.
This was what I thought, too---like maybe this was his way to reconnect with her.
On the cop shows I’ve seen, that’s called a single moment imprint. It’s a moment in ones life that defines who they are and what they become.
what does "go figure" mean
What's so frustrating about this case is that he was sooo sloppy and could have easily been stopped earlier if different administrations had done their job. Failure to get caught so many times reinforced his ego and further supported his murder sprees.

I met him. His surgery was 15 mins walk from my house in Hyde. I also knew the Kathleen Grundy the lady Mayoress who’s killing sett off the investigation. Possibly the worlds worst serial killer. Looking forward to watching this!
My only 2 critiques (bcs I do want this channel to thrive) as a film-student, etc are: the narrator is somewhat robotic, perhaps reading the script more times would help - I say this bcs I do the same unintentionally. Lastly, his motives weren't unknown, if anything, they are spelled out amongst his crimes, and own words - so that sentence at the beginning did turn me off for a bit, the rest of the video, however, was much more informative than most regarding this particular case. Thank You for keeping the Unsolved Legacy active
Agreed, I really love the Unsolved channel but the narrators for these kinda vids always let them down.
Hi, film grad and current employee at WB, the video is supposed to be informative rather than comedic like older unsolved videos, so it’s more appropriate for the narrator to be more monotone/robotic because she isn’t giving her own opinion or bias. And although we may be able to see patterns and essentially get at why he did that, he never explicitly said WHY, we can only speculate. So by definition, his motive is unknown. Great perspective and input but those changes would not necessarily make the video better or worse
I like the neutral voice since it is more informative than entertaining, but the repetitive use of the same stock images started to get annoying x
@@Faith-rm5ls 100% agreed
His Employers in Hyde did know about his previous pethidine addition. He told them about it in the interview.
I like these kind of vids, maybe you could make one about the nail bomber in England
I live in Wakefield & people still talk about Shipman to this day - he was kept in an underground cell at HMP Wakefield and complete isolated from other inmates.
HMP Wakefield is an incredibly high security prison that houses some of England’s most prolific murderers, rapists and paedophiles.
It’s worth reading the prison’s Wikipedia page!
Please do an episode on Jack Kevorkian
I hope they don't demonize him. Kevorkian was a humanitarian and did what he did out of compassion
I live half a mile from Hyde town center and I can't think of anything in it that's decent. It once had a Gabbotts.. Thats gone. It's got a quite good lawnmower shop I guess.....
He was my grandads doctor for a while luckily nothing bad happened
Childhood's the most important time of anybody's life. If that's ruined, well....
Shipman visited my grandmother in Newton Aycliffe
My grandfather was there whenever he visited, he was a medic in WW2 so he knew what he was trying to inject
Who else is watching this in the middle of a tornado warning
Hell yeah
Where is this happening?
@Salazar Slytherin thank you for informing me! Luckily im not in north america atm btw you watch harry potter?
Fun fun
@Salazar Slytherin ... The news reported a unusual tornado outbreak was going to happen today. If you were so concerned you would of already made emergency plans so posting online while watching a video, you obviously are not really concerned.
0:04 I THOUGHT SHE SAID “SHITMAN”
That would have been a way better last name for him
@@munaal-raghban4741 Yeah

The last thing his victims will have said to him was likely “Thankyou Doctor”
I find that harrowing
This was my Aunties doctor in Manchester for years 😬😂
Cases like these are why I don't trust health professionals. They can say and do so much with little to no repercussions under the guise of helping the sick and in need. I am highly apprehensive when I go to any doctor because their word is valued so much more over the word of patients and their families.
People do have a tendency of holding doctors at some higher esteem which I don't get. They just went to school for a really long time. They're just human beings like the rest of us. Maybe I feel that way because my mom is a nurse and she's always questioning doctors and whenever she has a difficult one (by which I mean horrible bedside manner) she tells them off or reports them
He did people favors, He was a good man!!! 😻
Sloppy operator tho...
Another Dr death, chris duntsch, is the subject of the eponymous podcast and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't listened.
I was thinking that what if Shipman murdered these patients because he enacted out his nightmare of his mother's death. Some people tend to make their nightmares a reality.
Hospise works within the law He was awful. As a nurse hospice is there for those needing it. He was definitely a monster
LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!
Do they not do background checks when hiring doctors in the UK? I don’t understand how they would need to be told of his conviction, it should be on his record
This guy used to live where I grow up only a couple steers away tho he wasn’t a doctor in the Area and it pretty much the secret that no ones talks about
How do you not check somebody’s criminal record during a criminal investigation???
I love this series! A suggestion for the next video, maybe how Jeffery Dahmer was caught?
I have a friend who is related to this man, and he was born in the same place as myself
he lived in my home town before moving, crazy
Most doctors/surgeons I’ve worked for were conceited and arrogant, idk it might just be a dr thing 😭
it is, and in any other scenario i think thats a good thing. I would want the dude thats cutting me open to keep me alive to be super confident.
I'm really thrown on the cremation. lol. He just... had them cremated on his own authority? Was there never any challenge to that from families? Or do most people do cremation anyway, so they don't question it?
Edit: Haha, that's how he was caught lol. Still though, did no other families challenge it?
I live in the town next to Hyde this is so close to home 😭😭😭
i wouldnt wanna be treated by him
I feel like I'm one of the few people who agree with assisted suicide.. wait wrong dr death.
My aunt worked as a Student Nurse under him whilst he worked at Pontefract.
WOW I thought my relatives were BAD but this guy tops them all.
He without a doubt was a phycopathic human being!! It makes me wonder why people do the things that they do and what in the world was going through their mind?! Talk about being disturbed!!!!
What if... hear me out, it was all assisted suicide? What if that was his side hussle and that's why he never said anything about it because he swore to help them? Like my grandma died of cancer and towards the end it was brutal and if someone had offered a way out I think we would have definitely taken it.
I live near where one of his offices was...when it was abandoned my dad took me inside the building
*Christopher Duntsch is Dr. Death* not Harold Shipman.
West Yorkshire is my favourite “town” also 😅
Americans can't help being ignorant.
I wonder if this was who they based that character on the show "Why Women Kill" on? Obviously loosely based but there's some similarities. A veterinarian (instead of a doctor for humans) that mercy killed terminally ill people he met via lethal injection (put them "to sleep"). In the show he watched and helped his chronically ill mother kill herself by overdose and grew up believing he was helping to end suffering by killing.
I thought this was about Dr. Death Steve Williams, and now I'm sad
Why did yall start the video with his nose up on the lens.
Who else mad BF crime season 7 was shorter then Ryan's height?
