“Was Jane Austen Murdered?”

I know it sounds weird but some people were actually addicted to arsenic, especially in Victorian times. Maybe she was hooked and ODâed. Some thought it was a cure-all. Every time I think about it I think of the equivalent of drinking draino today and surviving â yuck. James Maybrick, wealthy cotton buyer from England, died of arsenic poisoning and his American wife was convicted of the crime, although later released. He seemed to be an addict to the point where he could take enough to kill himself on a daily basis but didn’t die until he way upped his dose. Interesting fact some think he was Jack the Ripper. Some also think his wife really did kill him.
