    • The Ipswich Journal (Ipswich, England), Friday, April 22, 1887
      Sudden Death. _ On Saturday evening the Borough Coroner held an inquest in the magistrates' room, Town Hall, on the body of Susannah Pulfer, a single woman, aged 27 years, who had been an inmate of the Lock Hospital, Colchester, for the past two years, and who expired suddenly at her father's residence, 77 Fitzroy Street, about dinner time on Saturday. Alfred Pulfer, bricklayer, fater of the deceased, identified the body as that of his deceased daughter. He said she had been living in Colchester for the past two years. She last entered the Hospital in August 1886 and came out on the 15th of March, when she came home. Since then she had complained of pains in her head. Deceased sat opposite to him at dinner. They had finished the meal when suddenly she slipped off her chair as if in a fit and expired in twenty minutes. He made a comfortable home for her and gave her all the necessaries of life. The last time she was out was on Sunday. Alice Pulfer, sister of the deceased, said she saw deceased at Colchester in January. She was in pretty good health when at home. Mr. James Norman Vogan, surgeon, practicing in Ipswich, said about two o'clock on Saturday he was called to the house of Mr. Pulford. Susannah Pulfer was dead then, and the body was quite warm. There were no external appearances to account for death. There was a slight froth about the mouth. He could not say what was the cause of death. Deceased had not been a patient of his. The inquest wa adjourned till Monday at six o'clock in the evening, to enable Mr. Vogan in the meanwhile to make a post mortem Examination.

      The Ipswich Journal (Ipswich, England), Friday, April 22, 1887
      The inquest on the body of Susannah Pulfer who died suddenly on Saturday, which was adjourned to allow Mr. J. Normal Vogan to make a post mortem examination, was brought to a close on Monday evening, before the Borough Coroner, in Magistrates' room, Town Hall. Mr. Norman Vogan said that he had made a post mortem examination. He found the body well nourished, but there were signs of inflammation in almost every organ. In the head there was a large effusion of blood at the base of the brain, caused by the rupture of an artery. The artery was in such a diseased state that the least effort on the part deceased was enough to produce its rupture. The effect of the life deceased had led would be to bring about the disease of arteries of the body, and death not unusually from such disease, although he did not know of a case in which it took place at the early age of deceased. In his opinion death was caused by pressure on the base of the brain, the result of a rupture of an artery. A verdict was returned in accordance with the medical evidence.
