Richmal Oates-Whitehead

Richmal Marie Oates-Whitehead (February 1970 – August 2005) was an employee of the British Medical Association. She came into news in her native New Zealand after claiming to have tended to the attack victims as a doctor, and came into the news again when her medical credentials were under spotlight.

She was found dead shortly after coming to the attention of the press. Initially, it was suspected that she might have committed suicide, but it emerged later that she died of natural causes.
