A police strike force has been set up to investigate a suspected poisoning at an aged-care facility that has left two residents dead and one other in hospital.
Homicide squad detectives have joined local investigators after staff at John Hunter Hospital raised the alarm when the three residents from suburban Newcastle were admitted with similar symptoms on two consecutive days.
One woman, 83, was rushed to hospital on October 18 but later died.
A 91-year-old woman and 80-year-old man were also taken from the facility to the John Hunter on October 19.
