Who is Charles Cullen: the nurse who inspired Netflix’s Angel of Death
In December 2003, a nurse named Charles Cullen confessed to the New Jersey police that he had killed 40 people in his 16 years of service. The Netflix movie The Angel of Death tells the story of him.
Currently Charles Cullen is incarcerated in the New Jersey State Prison, in Trenton, and the crimes were committed by inducing drug overdoses to patients, until they died.
Some investigators of the case estimate that the nurse, a native of West Orange, killed more than 300 people, if true this would make him the serial killer with the most victims in the history of the United States.

After an abusive childhood and the death of his parents, Cullen dropped out of high school in 1978 and enlisted in the United States Navy, where he was part of the crew of the USS Woodrow Wilson submarine.
However, in 1984 she was medically discharged from the Navy and enrolled in the Mountainside School of Nursing in Montclair, New Jersey, graduating in 1986.

|---|---|
| 1988 | Although Cullen claimed that he killed 40 people, only 29 victims have been confirmed. The first murders, according to his confession, occurred in San Bernabé on June 11, 1988. That day the nurse gave a patient a lethal intravenous overdose. But he wasn’t the only patient he killed in his hospital stay, he said he killed several with high doses of insulin, including one who suffered from AIDS, |
| 1992 | In 1992, the health center undertook an investigation to determine who had contaminated some intravenous bags and the first suspect was Cullen, so the nurse withdrew and entered Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg. In the new job he murdered three elderly women with an overdose of digoxin, a cardiology drug. |
| 1993 | In 1993, he harassed a co-worker and she reported him to the police. Due to personal and family problems, throughout his life Cullen attempted suicide, received psychiatric help and was treated as a depressive patient in 1993, but continued to work. |
| nineteen ninety six | Later, he worked in the cardiology intensive care unit of the Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, where according to his confession, between January and September 1996 he killed five people with an overdose of digoxin. |
| 1998 | In 1998 he was in charge of patients dependent on respirators at the Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he was accused of administering intravenous drugs to patients without an order. |
| 2003 | Between 1998 and 2003 he worked at Easton Hospital, in Pennsylvania; in the burn unit at Allentown’s Lehigh Valley Hospital; at St Luke’s Hospital and Somerset Medical Center. |
Despite his mental state, he easily got a job due to the shortage of health personnel that existed. During his time in these hospitals, he killed more than a dozen patients, causing them to overdose on digoxin, insulin or epinephrine.
Cullen was arrested December 12, 2003 after complaints from patients, colleagues and relatives of victims at Somerset hospital. In his confessions to police, Cullen said that he killed these people to end their suffering and prevent them from being “dehumanized” by hospital staff.
However, some victims did not suffer from chronic illnesses, but instead showed signs of improvement before being killed by the medic.
