Irene Krampf, a 79-year-old woman from Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, died on June 22, 2001, while a patient at St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill. Her death was later determined to be the result of a lethal dose of medication administered by a nurse who moved between hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and injected victims with drugs that could mimic natural decline.

The nurse was identified as Charles Cullen. He was arrested in December 2003, cooperated with investigators, and in a Lehigh County courtroom pleaded guilty to Krampf’s murder along with five other murders and the attempted murder of three additional patients. Cullen admitted to killing dozens of patients over a 16-year nursing career; his guilty pleas led to multiple life terms in prison.

Are there any readers who knew Irene or who have information about her care at St. Luke’s in 2001?
