Linda Laura Hazzard, nicknamed the "Starvation Doctor," was an American quack, swindler, and convicted serial killer noted for her promotion of fasting, pummelinghours-long enemas as treatments.
In 1911, Hazzard was found guilty of manslaughter in the state of Washington and was sentenced to two to 20 years of hard labor for killing at least 15 people for financial gain at a sanitarium she operated near Seattle in the early 20th century.
She was released on parole after only serving two years and later, for unknown reasons, received a full pardon from Governor Ernest Lister in 1916.
Hazzard died at 70 after subjecting herself to her treatment methods.
