Niels Högel's Hospital Killing Spree

Between 2000 and 2005 in Lower Saxony in Germany, a nurse named Niels Hogel, who worked at Oldenburg Clinic and Delmenhorst Clinic, injected patients with heart drugs to trigger cardiac arrest so he could resuscitate them and appear as a savior. Investigators later tied him to more than 85 murders. In 2019, a German court sentenced him to life in prison.
