Police later discovered a selfie of the 42-year-old where she is seen posing next to a recently deceased patient.

And since the initial investigation, authorities are widening the case to look at other ‘very suspicious deaths’ under Poggiali’s watch.

Fellow hospital workers described Daniela as a ‘cold, polished’ person, and suspected her of misconduct - mainly due to the number of patients that seemed to die in her care.
