A man dressed as the Grim Reaper climbed onto a North Wales hospital roof, terrifying patients, and was arrested and fined for causing a nuisance. Leon Gillespie, 26, wore a hooded black cloak and scythe atop Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, pacing and gesturing for 50 minutes. He was charged with causing an NHS nuisance and appeared in court on July 15. Gillespie also admitted unrelated shoplifting charges for cat food, litter, and supermarket goods. No motive was given; the health board cited zero tolerance for hospital nuisance.
