Ontario doctor facing three first-degree murder charges following investigation into deaths at hospital

In March 2021, Dr. Brian Nadler, a physician at Hawkesbury and District General Hospital in eastern Ontario, was arrested and charged with the murder of 89-year-old Albert Poidinger.

Just over a year after being released on bail, Nadler has been arrested yet again, and now faces three charges of first degree murder.

According to Global News, Nadler's charges are related to the deaths of 80-year-old Claire Briere, 79-year-old Lorraine Lalande, and 93-year-old Judith Lungulescu.

All three passed away at the hospital where Nadler worked, and their deaths were investigated by Ontario Provincial Police following his first charge in 2021.

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact Hawkesbury OPP at 1-888-310-1122, or via Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or crimestoppers.ca.

As Global News reports, upon receiving his degree from McGill University in 2010, Nadler went on to do residencies at the Universities of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

During his time at UofS, Nadler was charged with two counts of "unprofessional conduct" for using a misogynistic slur towards a female colleague, and stating that he "felt like slapping her."

Upon resigning from that program in 2018, he headed down to work in Reno, Nevada for two years, before returning to Canada and receiving his license to practice in Ontario.

Nadler eventually ended up at the hospital in Hawkesbury. The news of his murder charges has shocked members of the small community, many of whom were patients.
