Furthermore, the fifteen life sentences already handed down rendered further litigation unnecessary. [3], In her sixth and final report, issued on 24 January 2005, Smith reported that she believed that Shipman had killed three patients, and she had serious suspicions about four further deaths, including that of a four-year-old girl, during the early stage of his medical career at Pontefract General Infirmary. West Yorkshire Coroner David Hinchliff eventually released the body to the family after an inquest was opened and adjourned shortly after.
