The Lighter Side / Re: Unusual causes of death
« on: Saturday 07 November 09 15:32 GMT (UK) »
I am researching deaths caused by nicotine poisoning in the UK.
Some appear to have been deliberate suicides, others\purely accidental. I would be pleased to hear from anyone with details of such cases, including Preraphaelite.
I am keen to what form the nicotine took (e.g. pesticide, solution from a lab, plug of tobacco, etc) who died, where and when etc.
As far as I can ascertain the first reported in the UK was in 1858 in the Geological Museum in London (according to the Times). The most recent one from the Times (up to 1985) was on the Isle of Wight in 1958.
Glad to hear from anyone.
