ABOUT THE CASE
Loughren’s role in bringing Cullen to justice came years after he began killing hospital patients, often using the heart drug digoxin, insulin and epinephrine at lethal levels.
Cullen had a long history of mental illness dating back to his childhood in West Orange, New Jersey, where he was often bullied and attempted suicide at a young age. He dropped out of high school after his mother was killed in a car accident and entered the US Navy in the late 1970s, rising to the rank of petty officer. He remained an outcast, often ridiculed by his peers, until he was reassigned and medically discharged in 1984.
The producers of the film are Scott Franklin, Darren Aronofsky, and Michael A. Jackman. Executive producers include Ari Handerl, Glen Basner, Jonathan Filley and Josh Stern.
The Good Nurse will have a limited release in theaters on October 19, while on October 26 it will premiere on Netflix.
