概要
Mercy or media-one man's private diary reveals that the king’s last breath was not entirely natural, and that a doctor timed a fatal injection so the death could make the morning papers; why would a physician end a life with the press in mind?
In this episode, we tell the episode’s story using the contemporary records and the physician’s own diary to outline what happened at Sandringham on the night of January 20, 1936, and explore the single question that changes the meaning of a public funeral.
Person: George V
Date: January 20, 1936
Location: Sandringham House, Norfolk
Person: Lord Dawson of Penn
Event: Fatal injection recorded in diary
- At 11:55 p.m. on January 20, 1936, George V stopped breathing at Sandringham.
- Lord Dawson wrote a public bulletin at 9:25 p.m. saying "the king's life is moving peacefully to its close."
- Two and a half hours after that bulletin, the king was dead at 11:55 p.m.
- In his private diary, Dawson recorded injecting morphine and cocaine into the king’s jugular vein with the purpose of hastening death.
- Dawson wrote he administered the overdose partly so the death could be announced in the morning papers rather than the evening journals.
