Samuel Standly Spangler was an 80-year-old man who died in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on January 9, 2002. His death was later attributed to Charles Cullen, a nurse who administered lethal doses of medications to patients under his care. Cullen’s method often involved digoxin, a medication that can be fatal in excessive amounts.

Charles Cullen’s killing spree spanned several years and multiple medical facilities. He was eventually apprehended, confessed to numerous patient murders including Spangler’s, and was charged and convicted for multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. He is serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole. The case prompted scrutiny of medical oversight and changes intended to prevent similar tragedies.

Did anyone have contact with Samuel Spangler while he was in care who can add details about his final days?
