Ok we will call him 71 and a half. By the life expectancy of that time a very old man.
The Times newspaper carried the following report on 30 January 1890:
“We regret to announce that Sir William Gull died at half past 12 yesterday at his residence, 74 Brook Street, London, from paralysis. Sir William was seized with a severe attack of paralysis just over two years ago while staying a Urrard, Killiecrankie, And never sufficiently recovered to resume his practice.”
So we deduct two years from the 29th January 1890 which gives Gull having a severe attack of paralysis just before January 1888. So serious that he couldn’t continue to practice.
The idea of him butchering prostitutes can be dismissed as obvious and quite embarrassing nonsense.
