Cleo Fish, 67, died at Cincinnati’s Daniel Drake Memorial Hospital on December 10, 1986.

Fish’s death occurred amid an unusual cluster of patient fatalities on the ward. No arrest followed her death at the time; the pattern only broke after the March 7, 1987, cyanide death of patient John Powell led the medical examiner to detect cyanide and prompt a homicide inquiry. Investigators later linked Fish to the series of poisonings and included her among the Drake victims Harvey admitted killing.

Harvey’s guilty pleas in August 1987 covered numerous murders and attempted murders at Drake and elsewhere, and prosecutors identified cyanide as the method used to kill Fish. Does anyone have information about Fish’s life at the time, her family, or memories from Drake Hospital in late 1986?
