Dr. Shipman didn't hide any of the bodies. He was a medical doctor and most of his patients were elderly and had recently been in his care for a medical problem. Shipman would usually give the victim an overdose of morphine or heart drug. For most deaths of elderly patients an autopsy is not ordered unless there are special circumstances or suspicisions. What finally raised eyebrows was the number of death certificates that Shipman was signing. His patients were dying at an alarming rate, while other physician's patient death rates remained the same.
