A former nurse's aide known as the "Angel of Death" after he admitted
killing three dozen hospital patients in Ohio and Kentucky died Thursday,
two days after he was attacked and beaten in his prison cell.

Donald Harvey, who was serving multiple life sentences, was found injured
in his cell Tuesday afternoon at the state prison in Toledo, officials
said. He was 64.

While details about the attack weren't released, he was beaten when an
unnamed person went into his cell, a patrol report said.

Harvey pleaded guilty in 1987 to killing 37 people, mostly while he worked
as a nurse's aide at hospitals in Cincinnati and London, Kentucky. He
later claimed he was responsible for killing 18 others while working at
the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Cincinnati.

He told his former attorney the killings began in 1970 when was at
Marymount Hospital in Kentucky.

Many of his victims were chronically ill patients and he claimed he was
trying to end their suffering.

Harvey used arsenic and cyanide to poison most of his victims, often
putting it in the hospital food he served them, prosecutors said. Some of
the patients were suffocated when he let their oxygen tanks run out.

Twenty-one of the people Harvey killed were patients at the former Drake
Memorial Hospital in Cincinnati, where he worked as a nurse's assistant.

He was caught after a medical examiner smelled cyanide while performing an
autopsy on a victim.

Harvey told a newspaper after he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty
that he liked the control of determining who lived and died.

Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Arthur Ney Jr. who prosecuted the cases
in Cincinnati said Harvey was not a mercy killer.

"He killed because he liked to kill," Ney said.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
