Thomas Roberts died from strychnine poisoning.
His death had initially been put down as being caused by heart failure but because he had left a will in which the last person to have seen him alive was the main beneficiary his body was later exhumed by a Home office expert and analysis of his body found more than a fatal dose of strychnine in him.
