CAUSE OF DEATH:
Death occurred from the effects of:
Asphyxia
Cerebral Anemia
Shock

Marks of ligature were discernible: there were abrasion and

slight ecchymosis in her skin.
The lungs revealed cyanosis, congestion, over aeration, and sub
pleural petechial hemorrhages.
 SHE CAME TO THE COTTAGE VOLUNTARILY
No sign of break in was mentioned
She entered the cottage herself.
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm;
Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall,
And, last, she sat down by my side
And called me.
The Blank family was informed that Ms. Blank was in her
room
The family became alarmed when it was discovered that
s h e w a s n o t i n h e r r o o m .
 MS. BLANK AND MR. DOE WAS IN A
RELATIONSHIP
Ms. Blank was making advances based on Mr. Does statement.

She put my arm about her waist,

And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me
Ms. Blanks sister revealed that there was love between the two.

Separated as they were wealth, social position, and all

that implies,
it was only in death that they could be reunited.
who are we to pass judgement on such love?
 THE SITUATION PUSHED THEM TO THE
LIMITS
Mr. Doe wanted to keep Ms. Blank eternally after knowing that their love was
mutual.
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Murmuring how she loved me she
Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour,
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
To set its struggling passion free
While I debated what to do.
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
And give herself to me for ever.
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do.
- The Parents of Porphyria forbidden the love of their daughter and Mr. Doe.
 PORPHYRIA DIED BEACAUSE OF LOVE
-Mr. Doe was in doubt for the decision hell take after what happened.
-He strangled and killed porphyria with her own hair.
While I debated what to do.
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her..
She was in awe when she died.
Her head, which droops upon it still:
The smiling rosy little head,
So glad it has its utmost will,
