Well, Herlock, you were unable to substantiate your assertion that
Macnaghten had evidence that he thought pointed to Druitt.
Now you write:
I’m no expert in mental health issues but I wonder how prevalent it is for someone to have a setback in life, have a decline in mental health and then commit suicide all within the space of three weeks?
What three weeks?
The evidence is that it happened within the space of a few days.
It evidently was not a decline but a sudden breakdown.
You also write:
To claim that there is ‘evidence that his suicide must have been connected to something else' just doesn’t hold water
and
what if they had found evidence that he was the ripper
More private information?
It is very convenient - is it not?- that there is 'private information' about Druitt being the Whitechapel Murderer, given by relatives of his to Macnaghten, and then private information about the murders, given by the school to Druitt, which the school then keeps private, and presumably was privately acquired by it.
Whatever the nature of the incident that led to his dismissal may have been, there is absolutely no reason to suspect that it had anything to do with the Whitechapel murders.
