So sad.
This poor man had every part of his life disseminated.
And if she’s innocent. Even sadder. What a waste of two young health professionals.

Perhaps a link or at least his name?

MrsFionaCharming · 09/08/2026 11:36

He got her work on a different unit whilst she was suspended under investigation. So even if she is innocent, he wasn’t.

TrunkElliot · 09/08/2026 11:37

You’re implying he took his own life. According to reports he had been ill before he died.

Thiscantgoonlikethis · 09/08/2026 11:40

Oh! That’s what The Sun article implies and I can’t find any other better sources

"He had been ill before his death last month. His funeral has been held."

This is from The Sun article.

He can't be named. There is a court order.

I’ve asked for this thread to be deleted as it is inaccurate

Understandable then. I’m clearly crotchety after yet another disturbed night with poor sleep 🙄

Absolutely nothing about her post implied he'd taken his own life.

Brainstorm23 · 09/08/2026 13:05

He was in his 50s too so not exactly a "young health professional".

Did you read the article at all?

Viviennemary · 09/08/2026 13:06

I just read this earlier. I suppose when a younger person dies who isnt known to be ill or in an accident then there is speculation. I blame the press.

TrunkElliot · 09/08/2026 13:33

@Viviennemary
I blame the ghouls who can’t even get their facts right in their rush to post.

TrunkElliot · 09/08/2026 13:34

@DidYeAye16
She absolutely did imply that.

LabubuTERF · 09/08/2026 21:28

If he’s died then can he now be named?

Watdidusay · 10/08/2026 15:12

He's not dead. The Sun has incorrectly reported and other news outlets cited the sun. The death was of a different doctor in the Thirlwall enquiry (Oliver Rackham) and I find it very unfortunate to the family of Dr Rackham that this mess is now falsely being attached to his name.

It's just a coincidence that two 50-something year old doctors, both who played a part in caring for at least one of Lucy Letby's victims, both died last month. The Sun aren't going to get Dr A and Dr Oliver Rackham mixed up. They're two clearly very separate people. And Dr A's name is widely known after being accidentally leaked.

I am also aware Dr A has not died.

TangledUp679 · 11/08/2026 12:17

Really? Well if you know Dr A personally and know he's still alive then fair enough! Whoever The Sun are talking about can't be Dr Rackham though. His funeral hasn't taken place yet (unlike the doctor in The Sun's article) and he worked at Arrowe Park not the Countess.

Exactly, which is how I know it's misreported!

So, has he died or not ?

So maybe the word you're looking for is sorry.

No.

Conspiracy.
