At least eight babies--and perhaps as many as 23--were killed by intentional drug overdoses at the prestigious Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, a Canadian appeals court judge said. Justice Samuel Grange, appointed to investigate 36 deaths in the hospital’s cardiac ward between June 30, 1980, and March 22, 1981, said it is preposterous to think the overdoses of the powerful heart drug digoxin were accidental. However, Grange’s inquiry was unable to solve the mystery of who might be responsible for the deaths.
