Berlin Doctor on Trial for 15 Murders of Terminally Ill Patients

A Berlin palliative care doctor is on trial, accused of murdering at least 15 terminally ill patients by administering lethal drug mixtures without their consent, with investigations ongoing into an additional 72 cases. The trial is extensive, involving numerous witnesses and joint plaintiffs, and may last until early 2026. Meanwhile, a Colorado autopsy technician named Dolly has gone viral for sharing unusual but common causes of death, emphasizing preventable risks such as choking on steak among the elderly, positional asphyxia from leaning into washing machines, and fatal accidents involving cheap car jacks or loose clothing near machinery. Dolly also warns against provoking violent altercations with phrases like “What are you gonna do? Stab me?” which have preceded many deaths she has investigated. Her insights reveal a broad range of fatal incidents, from natural causes to bizarre accidents, highlighting everyday behaviors that can unexpectedly lead to death. These stories collectively underscore both deliberate harm in medical care and accidental deaths from avoidable hazards.
