Harold Shipman was born on January 14th, 1946. Like any child, he was close with his mother who died of lung cancer when he was 17.In the later stages of her disease, she had morphine administered by a doctor. Shipman witnessed his mother's pain subside, despite her terminal condition, until her death. This later became Shipman's own modus operandi, earning his moniker, Dr. Death.
