Niels Hoegel, 41, has already spent nearly a decade in prison on a life term for other patient deaths. He is accused of intentionally administering medical overdoses to victims so he could bring them back to life at the last moment.

Apparently he wasn't very good at this.

He only lost 100, we don't know how many he failed to save. Did he lose half of them, 99% of them? Or what?

In the wild, CPR only revives ≈5% of the people it's applied to.
