you will find a bulletin board relating to Crowley and the Ripper killings. One post lists a series of questions and points about the Kelly murder. Among these was listed:
8) The coroner committed suicide a brief time later by jumping from a window. What did he find?

When did the Coroner, Macdonald, die and in what circumstances?
Any help most welcome!
Chris

Hi Chris,

Sounds like that site is confusing the coroner with the medical examiner. Roderick Macdonald died of cancer in March 1894. I believe it was Dr. Bond who committed suicide in 1901 by jumping out from a window.

Hope that helps,
Dave

It certainly does - the confusion of these two could explain it
Many thanks
Chris
