• Every night would walk down the yew alley and would smoke a cigar

• 4^th of may said he was going to London the next day

• 12:00- hall door still open

• Barrymore (butler) went in search of him

• Wet ground- foot prints lead down the alley

• Gate- opens to moor

• gate- 4 ft high, padlocked

• Stood at gate for sometime (footprints and ash showed)

• Body was found at end of alley

• Foot prints showed he walked on the his toes from gate to end of ally

• Drunk gypsy heard cries

• No signs of violence

• Great facial distortion- symptom of death from dyspnoea or cardiac exhaustion

• very afraid of legend- would never go on moor himself

• no other footprints besides barrymore’s and charles’ at gate

• lay on face. Arms out, fingers dug in ground

• 20 yrds from body- footprints of a large hound (barrymore didn’t mention)

My Thoughts:

I don’t think this is supernatural.

I do think he died of fright.
