Henry Hoeweler, 82, of Cincinnati was one of the non-hospital victims later linked to Donald Harvey. Reports list his death as May 1, 1983, after he suffered a stroke and was admitted to Providence Hospital. According to Harvey’s later confessions and the list of victims tied to Harvey’s 1987 guilty pleas, arsenic was placed in pudding that Harvey gave to Hoeweler; Hoeweler died that night.

The killing is described as arising from the volatile relationship between Harvey and his longtime roommate and partner, Carl Hoeweler; Harvey’s attorney said the poisonings of Carl’s parents reflected anger toward Carl rather than mercy toward a terminal patient. No separate accomplice or additional suspect has been identified; Harvey admitted administering the arsenic and was included on the indictment and guilty-plea list that named Henry among many victims.

Did anyone who knew Henry or his family notice unusual visitors or food being brought to his hospital room around that time?
