Matthew Hopkins didn't kill any witches. His evidence caused them to be found guilty in court and sentenced to hang by a judge and jury. The exact number is unknown but estimated to be somewhere around 300 accused, and 150 or so actually found guilty, and slightly less than that number executed due to judicial reprieves.

A doctors records, parish records, and writings of people who knew him all confirm he died of Consumption
