John Bodkin Adams was a British general practitioner, more than 160 of whose patients died under suspicious circumstances. Many of them just so happened to be very wealthy women and some 132 patients left him money or gifts when they died. Rumors started that Adams was killing them with drugs, but many of their bodies had been cremated before a post-mortem was conducted. Was Dr. Adams a serial killer or was he just a terrible doctor?
