''An eastern Ontario doctor charged in the death of an elderly patient in Hawkesbury, Ont., last year is now facing three more counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of three other elderly patients, Ontario Provincial Police announced on Wednesday.
Dr. Brian Nadler, 35, was arrested Wednesday on the new charges, OPP said in a news release. He
had been out of custody since being granted bail on the first charge in July 2021.
Nadler was originally charged with one count of first-degree murder in the
death of 89-year-old Albert Poidinger of Pointe-Claire, Que. Poidinger was a patient at the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital, which is located between Ottawa and Montreal.
The three most recent alleged victims are 80-year-old Claire Briere of Rigaud, Que., 79-year-old Lorraine Lalande of Hawkesbury and 93-year-old Judith Lungulescu of East Hawkesbury Township.
All three were patients under Nadler's care, the hospital said in a statement posted on its website Wednesday.''
''In an email to CBC News, Greenspan's office confirmed Nadler was released on Wednesday afternoon with the same conditions.
According to a brief statement attributed to Greenspan and his partners, Nadler will be "vigorously defended" by the law firm.
"All four patients died of COVID-19 and Dr. Nadler provided excellent palliative care. When the facts are fully presented, we are confident that he will be vindicated," the statement said.''
