A hospital worker has been arrested on suspicion of murder by officers investigating the death of a patient at a Norfolk hospital.
James May, 76, from Great Yarmouth, died at the James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston on 20 September.
Ten days later the hospital reported an allegation of medical malpractice in connection with his death.
A middle-aged member of the hospital's medical staff has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody.
Det Ch Insp Paul Durham, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, said: "We are investigating an allegation that a drugs overdose was administered to a patient, leading to his death.
"A Home Office post-mortem, carried out earlier this week, determined the cause of Mr May's death as heart failure and we now await the results of further toxicology tests which will help inform our inquiry."
