Could the police have overlooked another victim of Garry Davis older care killer?

An ABC investigation revealed that the police failed to identify another victim of the convicted healthcare killer Garry Davis, who was found guilty of killing two residents of the medical care and trying to kill one third by injection with lethal doses.

Elizabeth Eifler, 86 years old, died in the same 48 -hour period when three other residents were injected with deadly insulin doses, an elderly care worker at the Newcastle Summitcare in October 2013.

Despite the fact that Mrs. Eifler was in the same wing as known victims and under Davis’s care, The true serial of the crime briefing briefing, The Invisible Killerfound that the police did not order an autopsy and no insulin test after her death,

In 2016, Davis was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the crimes of Gwen Fowler (83 years old) and Ryan Kelly (80 years old) and the attempt to kill Audrey Manuel (91).

However, the new evidence discovered by ABC shows that Mrs. Eifler’s daughter, Ingrid, raised her concern that her mother could have been another victim of Davis, but the police did not do the post-mortem tests to find out if this was the case.

In a statement made to the police almost a month after the crime, Ingrid said he contacted the police responsible for the investigation several times, urging him to investigate his mother’s death.

Ingrid, who has since died, expressed the concern that her mother “could have been poisoned”, mentioning that she found it unconscious and sweated around her arms and neck on the morning of October 18, 2013.

Mrs. Eifler died around 2:00 pm that day.

Just two hours later, Gwen Fowler was found unconscious, also sweating deeply.

Mrs. Fowler died the next day, and subsequent tests confirmed that she was injected with a lethal dose of insulin.

Initially, the Eifler family accepted that Elizabeth’s passage was due to natural causes because he received palliative care. However, Ingrid’s suspicions grew after I learned about the other deaths at the unit.

Finally, after another appeal to the police, Ingrid said in her statement that she said that her mother’s blood tests are “clear”.

When ABC asked the NSW police about testing the blood sugar level of Mrs. Eifler, a spokesman said that the police made “investigations” in her death “, including the look of the results of the toxicology and no apparent suspicious circumstances were identified.

However, after other questions from ABC, the police confirmed that the results of the toxicology referred to were from tests three days before the death of Mrs. Eifler, when he visited the hospital.

No post-mortem testing or testing was not performed after the death of Mrs. Eifler.

Failure to comply with death would be “negligence”, says the former chief detective

When he was interviewed for Podcast, Detective Chief Graeme Parker, who supervised the activity of Detectives in Newcastle, including the Summitcare case, said he could not remember the name Elizabeth Eifler as part of the investigation.

When ABC told her about the details of her death, Graeme Parker said he called alarm for him.

“The first thing you do is go,” have there been other (deaths) recently? Gosh, the day before? We probably have to see if there is medical -legal evidence there, “he said.

After finding out from ABC that the police analyzed the hospital records, but no medical -legal tests were performed, Mr. Parker said he could not understand how this could have happened.

“That should have been checking,” he said.

“That would be negligence, I would believe,” he said.

The NSW police did not respond directly to this accusation of negligence, but said that a death certificate was issued by the treated doctor of Mrs. Eifler at that time, and the death was not considered reportable. “

The spokesman said that additional investigations were performed and they were identified with death and reiterated that “no apparent suspicious circumstances” were identified.

The police “overlooked” the death of the mother, says the son

Mrs. Eifler’s body was still in the funeral when the investigation of the deaths of the other residents began. The police had a small window to order an autopsy and tests.

However, it seems that these requests have not been made.

It is not known when the police were warned or found out about her death.

I asked Summitcare if or when they told the police about the death of Mrs. Eifler and if they felt it could have been another victim of Garry Davis.

Summitcare refused to answer direct questions about the death of Mrs. Eifler, saying that he forbade private private health information. However, he said that his staff remained “devastated and torn” about the crimes committed by Davis.

The son of Mrs. Eifler, Peter and his wife, Sosefina, said that neither Summitcare nor the police contacted him about Elizabeth.

Peter Eifler said the police should have contact the family and should have tested his mother’s body.

“My opinion is that the police did not do their job correctly and they overlooked things,” he said.

“That should have been done right away, not to leave it.”

Garry Davis, who talks to ABC from Goulburn prison as part of his investigation, denied that he killed Mrs. Eifler.
