Wales Court Sentences Man Who Posed as Angel of Death on Hospital Roof

A 26-year-old man, Leon Gillespie, has been sentenced in Wales after he climbed onto a hospital roof wearing a dark hooded outfit and carrying a large scythe. The sight reportedly frightened patients, staff and visitors, prompting police officers and negotiators to respond. After several hours, they persuaded him to come down peacefully. No one was injured, but prosecutors said the incident caused serious fear, disrupted hospital operations and required a major emergency response. The court found his conduct reckless and distressing.
