Gwen Fowler. ONE of two elderly patients possibly poisoned at a Newcastle nursing home had moved to the area to start a "new exciting chapter in my life." Gwendolyn Fowler, 83, died a fortnight ago after being rushed to hospital in a critical condition, with high amounts of insulin in her blood system. Mrs Fowler, whose funeral service was held a week ago, and Ryan Kelly, 80, who died on Tuesday after similar symptoms, were both residents at the Summit Care aged care facility at Wallsend. Police have set up Strike Force Correa to investigate the two elderly patients' deaths, as well as the suspected poisoning of a third person, who has since recovered. Police are also probing the circumstances surrounding the recent deaths of other patients, to see if anyone else had suffered the same symptoms as Mrs Fowler and Mr Kelly. In the 2006 Orara High School yearbook, where Mrs Fowler was a home science teacher, the popular staff member wrote that she retired in 1983, spent time travelling with her husband Les, and was looking forward to starting a new chapter in her life. "Les passed away in 2005, and I have stayed at home in Coffs since then, remaining active with walking and Probus," Mrs Fowler wrote. I am about to start a new exciting chapter in my life, moving to Newcastle to be neared to my daughters, in a small unit. Mrs Fowler said she began working at the Coffs Harbour school when it first opened in 1972. "This was my first 'real job' after helping on the banana plantation for many years," she wrote. Mrs Fowler's eldest daughter Gail Russ said she did not want to comment on the circumstances surrounding her mother's death, while it was still part of a police investigation. The poisoning deaths have left relatives horrified and police vowing to leave no stone unturned in the hunt for the person responsible. A third victim who was also rushed to hospital in a serious condition from SummitCare's Sugarloaf Gardens facility in the Newcastle suburb of Wallsend has since recovered. Police Commander Supt John Gralton said State Crime Command homicide squad detectives were investigating the suspicious deaths, as the nursing home notified the families of all residents of a "critical incident." All three victims were rushed to hospital within 24 hours of each other on October 18 and 19, showing symptoms of an insulin injection overdose. Gwen Fowler, 83, died soon after while Ryan Kelly, 80, died on Tuesday. A 91-year-old woman later recovered. "The deaths are being treated as suspicious unless determined otherwise," Supt Gralton said. Relatives of other residents at the 142-bed facility received a call on Tuesday night telling them a "critical incident" had taken place. But Jenny Price, whose father has been at the home for 18 months, said she was given no further detail until yesterday afternoon when she heard media reports. "They knew (what had happened) but they wouldn't tell me," she said. Jan Hedley, whose mother-in-law has been a resident at the home for more than four years, said she was "horrified" to learn the details. "There is a lot of concern, of course," she said. You put a family member in a facility like this to keep them safe and well. However, Ms Hedley said her mother-in-law - who was unaware of the two deaths - had received "wonderful" treatment from staff throughout her stay at the home. Supt Gralton said there were no "immediate concerns" in relation to security at the Sugarloaf Gardens site. SummitCare management said they were fully co-operating with police.
