According to the warrant, Crombez went through patient notes for the police. The document lists “the observation of diaphoretic patients, that a patient had a seizure despite not being epileptic, and that a deceased patient had bulging eyes.” Crombez told police those symptoms are consistent with insulin overdose.

The document said insulin isn’t accounted for or secured at Caressant Care, and it “would never be looked at as a cause of death.”

The warrant also says “it was confirmed that Beth Wettlaufer had direct care of each of the victims mentioned in the Productions Orders at, or just prior to, the time of their deaths.”

Wettlaufer is accused of killing seven patients under her care at Caressant Care, where she worked between 2007 and 2014. She is also accused of killing one additional patient, 75-year-old Arpad Horvath, who died in Victoria Hospital in London, Ont. on Aug. 31, 2014 after staying at the Meadow Park nursing home where Wettlaufer worked.

The documents detail Horvath’s condition in the moments leading up to his death.

According to the documents, Horvath was found unresponsive with very low blood sugar. He was given glucagon - used to prevent blood sugar levels from dropping too low - to raise his blood sugar and transported to Victoria Hospital.

“After Horvath’s blood sugar was stabilized from the glucagon, it crashed and became very low again shortly thereafter as the long acting insulin kicked in,” the document says.

In the months leading up to his death, there were three times that Horvath was found with low blood sugar. In all three cases, the document says Wettlaufer was the nurse taking care of Horvath.

On Aug. 24th, 2014, the document says “Horvath was found unresponsive, diaphoretic, cold and clammy, with a very low blood sugar.” Nurses administered glucagon, and his blood sugar went up before dropping again.

The warrant also revealed that Wettlaufer was asked by staff at Telfer Place in Paris, Ont. in April 2016 “not to return to their facility due to her behaviour towards other staff members.”

Wettlaufer was also employed as a registered nurse through the company Life Guard. Her last day was August 7 of last year. She quit and, according to court documents, said in an email that she “can no longer function as a registered nurse.”

She also worked as a nurse at Saint Elizabeth but resigned on Sept. 2, 2016 stating “she couldn’t do it anymore.”

Wettlaufer's next court appearance is April 7.
