The coroner was alerted to the unusual death rate of Shipman's patients by a local Funeral director and the local crematorium in March 1998.

He killed a further 3 patients including the former Mayor of Hyde, Kathleen Grundy in June and he forged a will leaving himself £385,000. Grundy's daughter was a lawyer and her solicitor was suspicious about the will, so she informed the police. Shipman was found to own a typewriter of the same model that was used to type the will. When Grundy's body was exhumed it was discovered to contain a high level of Diamorphine. This added up to a lot of circumstantial evidence against Shipman.
