Neurologist Dr. What Ricardo Cruciani did to his patients froze the blood, not only in the USA but all over the world. The doctor was found to have manipulated and abused six female patients at the New York City hospital and facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. After the events unfolded, the death of the convicted doctor was also a big event. It is debated whether the death of the doctor who died in prison by suicide was really a suicide. Here are all the details about the terrible event…
He made himself addicted with the drugs he gave him, then…
According to the news of CNN; The doctor was supposed to help his patients cope with chronic painful illnesses. But the doctor used his psychiatric training to manipulate his female patients. It was learned that at the beginning of the incidents, the doctor abused his patients by hand and kissed them forcibly. Not only that, the doctor prescribed too many strong pain medications to his female patients. Thus, he made his patients addicted to those powerful drugs. At this point, their patients could only go to doctor Cruciani, as no other doctor had prescribed them as much as they needed due to their addiction. After the trial, based on the statements of the patients, it was revealed that the doctor sexually assaulted and sexually abused his patients and raped them. The doctor was found guilty of 12 charges in total on all these charges together.
The doctor, who is also the former head of Drexel University’s Department of Neurology, was previously convicted of sexually abusing patients in Philadelphia and was sentenced to seven years of probation in 2017.
The doctor, who made them feel terrified and darkened their lives when he should have helped his patients, raped his patients and prescribed extremely strong painkillers to maintain his control over them.
DIED IN PRISON
The monstrous doctor died in Rikers Island Prison. The doctor was reported to have died by hanging. However, no detailed explanation was given about his death. The doctor was held at Rikers Island Prison until his sentence was finalized. The death of the doctor was also a big topic, as the prison in question was a notorious prison for a large number of deaths, violence and brutal conditions. His lawyer, who made a statement on the subject, said that they wanted the doctor to be placed under suicide watch. However, stating that these conditions were not met, the lawyer added that if protective measures had been taken, these discussions would not have occurred today. The lawyer also called for an investigation into the doctor’s death. The ministry announced that an investigation will be conducted to determine the circumstances that led to the doctor’s death.
While there was a debate over the necessity of determining all the circumstances as to why the suicide occurred in the doctor’s death, some circles criticized the fact that Cruciani was not placed under suicide watch. One of the criticisms is; that suicide surveillance should be implemented for prisoners facing serious high-profile crime, but the failure to do so raises serious questions. It is also argued that the issue is an administrative failure.
