A 26-year-old Welsh man named Leon Gillespie was arrested after he reportedly dressed as the Grim Reaper, climbed onto the roof of a hospital, and silently stared down at patients, visitors, and staff as they entered the building.
Once in court, he did not explain the performance. Makes sense. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Gillespie pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance or disturbance on National Health Service property without a reasonable excuse after refusing to leave when instructed by police. The court fined him £200 for the hospital incident and ordered him to pay additional compensation and court costs.
