Death by Suggestion | M.P. Pellicer

On September 19, 1911 Lady Frances M. Garnett-Orme was found dead in her room at the Savoy Hotel in the hill station of Mussoorie in northern India. The body was carefully laid out, as if posed after she died, and the doors were locked from the inside.


A post mortem examination found the presence of prussic acid. Two months later her companion Eva Mountstevens was arrested at Jhansi, after she left Lucknow.
