Where is Christopher Duntsch AKA Dr. Death now?
DISGRACED doctor, Christopher Duntsch, is infamously known as Dr Death for gross malpractice. In 2017, Duntsch was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of maiming one of his patients. Since receiving his life sentence, Dr Death is currently housed in the O.B. Ellis Unit outside of Huntsville, Texas. He will not be eligible for parole until 2045, when he will be 74-years-old. At the time, Duntsch was accused of injuring 33 out of 38 patients in less than two years before the Texas Medical Board revoked his license. Many of his patients suffered severe spinal cord damage, resulting in paralysis and pain severe enough to render painkillers ineffective. The Peacock original Dr Death is based on a true story. Dr Death is a new limited series about the rise and fall of Duntsch. "Based on a hit podcast and inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, a young and charismatic star in the Texas medical community," Peacock explains about the upcoming series. 2 Duntsch, aka Dr Death, was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 Credit: WFAA-TV  "After building a flourishing neurosurgery practice, everything suddenly changes when patients entering Dr. Duntsch's operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries start leaving permanently disabled or dead.
