Eli Jackson was found dead in a field on the old Roman road, Green Lane, in suspicious circumstances near Holcombe Farm in Newington, Oxfordshire on 21 December 1940.
It was first thought that he had been murdered after his post-mortem showed that he had a broken neck, but it was later stated that he had died from natural causes. It was then thought that he might have gone into a pond and then got out and died from exposure. When he was found his clothes were soaked up to his crotch.
