11/12 Windsor, Canada Dr. Stabs Nurse in Hospital then Over-doses

Dr. Mark Daniel, 50, an anesthesiologist at Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital stabbed Lori Dupont near the start of her day shift as she was preparing a post-surgery recovery room with another nurse shortly before 9 a.m. He assaulted her with a military style dagger and then fled the scene only to be found a short while later, dying from a overdose of drugs. The two had previous relationship but she ended it earlier this year. He was then removed from duty due to his stalking behavior and because of his suicide attempt, from which she had saved his life. The hospital reportedly had taken numerous security measures to protect Dupont but later some were eased, allegedly with her approval, even after he returned to work at the hospital. She had applied for a TRO against him back in February but the hearing for the trial was still pending while the attack occurred. Daniel later died from the overdose.
