Fleetwood Willats

Fleetwood Willats died after drinking spirit of salts that he said someone gave him to drink in a pub telling him that it was whisky.

He said he had been drinking outside at the Nag's Head pub at 880 High Road, Tottenham, on the night of Friday 13 June 1919 when two men had given him a drink from a bottle telling him that it was whisky. He said that it didn't taste like whisky and had burnt his tongue and he had refused to take anymore believing that the men intended to rob him.
