A doctor by profession, he is one of the most prolific known serial killers in global history with 215 murders being positively ascribed to him, although the real number is likely to be higher than this. His youngest victim was Peter Lewis, a 41-year-old man.Much of Britain's legal structure concerning health care and medicine was reviewed and modified as a direct and indirect result of Shipman's crimes, especially after the findings of the Shipman Inquiry, which began on 1 September 2000 and lasted almost two years. Shipman died on 13 January 2004, after hanging himself in his cell at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire. Histoy doest not offers information about the time the doctor killed his patients.
