A German nurse who is serving life in prison for purposefully overdosing and killing two patients is now being considered a suspect in up to 84 more deaths and possibly many more.

Niels Hoegel was convicted of double murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2015 but investigators have since linked him to dozens of other suspicious deaths at a clinic near the town of Delmenhorst.

Hundreds of bodies have had to be exhumed and re-examined as part of the investigation. Officials have stated that many deaths could have been avoided if authorities had been alerted earlier by staff at the Clinic.
