ST. ASAPH, Wales (WSVN) — A man who appeared to be dressed as the Grim Reaper scared doctors and patients from the roof of a hospital in Wales.
The morbid daredevil, identified as 26-year-old Leon Gillespie, was captured on camera standing on the rooftop of Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital in St. Asaph, Denbingshire, dressed in a black cloak, back on June 6.
Witnesses said he stood still as he looked down at the people below while holding what appeared to be a long blade.
Gillespie pleaded guilty for causing a public nuisance on National Health Service premises and fined $269. No explanation was given in court for his stunt.
Gillespie denied he was dressed as the Grim Reaper, claiming he was dressed as a “crow.”
