A bizarre incident at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan, near St Asaph, North Wales, has gained international infamy after a man donned a Grim Reaper costume and climbed onto the hospital’s roof to scare staff and patients alike.
Leon Gillespie, 26, was caught on the night of June 6, 2026, scaling the roof of the hospital’s main entrance. And he wasn’t just wearing the dark, hooded robe famously associated with the personification of death. Gillespie was also allegedly carrying a long blade.
