MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay -- Uruguayan police say an investigation into dozens of possibly induced deaths at two hospitals has led to the detention of at least two people.
Police inspector Jose Luis Roldan said Sunday that officials suspect that hospital workers brought a sort of poison from Brazil and gave it to patients who were in critical condition.
I'm bothered by the idea that multiple employees somehow worked together to kill "dozens" of people, as the article says later. Dozens?
I don't know how many of you read Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub, but this reminds me of the disturbing scene there where you learn the hospitals are feeding grounds for the vampire sisters that came at dusk. The weak, the sick and the worried made up a feast of the innocent. It is truly a terrifying thing, to be at our most vulnerable and at the mercy of those around us.
It's by no chance that a horror writer got there first (if you don't believe me, give Misery a read) but normally these "death angels" are lone operators who are fulfilling a complex and personal need. This was a group, and while no official statement has been released, it will be hard to explain this level of cooperation and cunning.
I sense a good story, and hope the expected press release clears up some details.
