"Doctor Death" sentenced to life imprisonment
Frederic Pechier

A former French anesthetist, dubbed "Doctor Death" by prosecutors, has been sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of deliberately poisoning dozens of patients, causing the deaths of at least 12 of them.

The decision was made by a court in the city of Besançon, in eastern France, which found Frédéric Péchier guilty of contaminating infusion bags with dangerous substances, which caused cardiac arrest or severe hemorrhage.

According to the investigation and evidence presented at the trial, Péchier deliberately poisoned 30 patients between 2008 and 2017 at two private clinics in Besançon. The victims ranged in age from a 4-year-old child who survived two cardiac arrests during a routine tonsillectomy in 2016 to an 89-year-old patient.

The prosecution described his behavior as criminal and shocking. "You are Doctor Death, a poisoner, a murderer. You have disgraced all doctors and turned this clinic into a graveyard," the prosecutor told the courtroom.

The first case to raise the alarm was that of Sandra Simard, 36, who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest during a spinal operation. She survived thanks to immediate medical intervention, paradoxically also by Péchier himself, but ended up in a coma. Laboratory analyses of the infusion bags showed potassium levels up to 100 times higher than the permitted dose, which led to the immediate notification of the prosecutor's office and the opening of an investigation.

During a 15-week trial, Frédéric Péchier repeatedly denied any responsibility, although he acknowledged that some patients may have been poisoned. “I am not a poisoner. I have always respected the Hippocratic oath,” he declared to the jury. However, the court found him guilty of serious criminal acts, stressing that his actions constituted a serious breach of medical ethics and a direct threat to the lives of patients.

According to the ruling, Péchier will have to serve at least 22 years in prison before he is eligible for parole. He has been free throughout the trial. The former anesthesiologist has 10 days to appeal the ruling, which would lead to a retrial within a year.
