Wellingborough News, 22nd April 1882, transcribed by Kay Collins

SUICIDE OF AN ELDERLY MAN—Mr. J. T. Parker held an inquest at Thrapston Workhouse, on Monday, on the body of George Mundin, labourer, of Ringstead, aged 64 years. Deceased had of late suffered from bronchitis, and this had prevented him from going to work. On the 8th inst. he went to bed at 9.30 in his usual spirits, and the next morning his daughter found him with his throat cut and a knife beside him. He was removed to Thrapston Workhouse, where he received every attention, but he succumbed to his injuries on the 16th inst. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide while temporarily insane.
