Boiled haddock, purchased from a hawker, and eaten for breakfast and dinner, caused Charlotte Jane Short's death in London. The fish was bad, she told a friend before she died, and she noticed this when eating it, but she was a poor woman, and said she could not afford to waste it.
At the inquest, to-day, a verdict was returned of "Death from accidental causes." (Yorkshire Evening Post, August 2nd, 1904)
This one is actually sad.
ReplyDeleteMy, how things stay the same. I agree with Anon--this is sad.
