Harold Shipman is dead
Harold Shipman is dead. What are your thoughts? Did he die too easy, too soon?
Imho, justice has not been served by Shipman taking his own life. The “good doctor� should have served the maximum possible time before natural causes took him to his grave.

I think he means Harold Shipman, serial killer.
It's the easy way out but it saves tax payers paying for the upkeep of his ass.

NHS pension for Shipman's widow
Mrs Shipman is entitled to "survivor benefits"
Harold Shipman's widow, Primrose, will receive a pension and lump sum as a result of her husband's death, the Department of Health has confirmed.
Stripped of his NHS pension, Britain's most prolific serial killer would not have received the money had he lived.
Shipman was found hanged in his prison cell on Tuesday - the eve of his 58th birthday.
He had reportedly told his probation officer he was considering suicide so his widow could receive the generous pension and lump sum he had lost.
Mrs Shipman is entitled to the relevant survivor benefits
In April Diana Sanderson wrote in a report: "There have been concerns... when there were discussions about the possibility of his pension being forfeited that he might attempt to take his own life," according to The Times.
"It is a situation that should be constantly monitored," she reportedly said, though she believed the "very close bond" between Shipman and his wife meant it was unlikely he would actually kill himself.
Had he lived beyond the age of 60, his wife would only have received a half-pension of £5,000 a year and no lump sum on his eventual death, according to the newspaper.
But 54-year-old Mrs Shipman could now receive a tax-free lump sum of more than £100,000 and a full survivor's pension of around £10,000 every year.

I guess he did the right thing then.
Now perhaps his wife can move on in her life, all the time he was living she was tied to his crimes. At last she is free from that evil man.
I wonder if he asked for forgiveness before he killed him self, but then again the suicide would have put him right back into hell. Lets hope he burns forever.
