Alice Thomas died from arsenic poisoning on 3 November 1930. It was thought that she had been given two doses.
The police later said that they were looking for the cook, who later vanished and whose coat was found on a cliff. It was not known if she had committed suicide or run off. She did leave a note that suggested that she was doing away with herself although asserted that she was innocent of any crime.
