Donald Thomas Cole

Donald Thomas Cole was found dead amongst some rocks in Clevedon.

He was a journalist and had left his wife abruptly in the middle of a conversation at their flat at about 11pm on 29 May 1952. His body was then found amongst the rocks at Clevdon, over 30 miles away, two days later. His wife said that when Donald Cole left their flat that she didn't know that he was going to leave. She said, 'He did not take his outdoor clothes and I thought he was going to the kitchen, or something like that, until I heard the front door slam. I was puzzled, but not alarmed, by his sudden departure, and I waited up for him until 1.30am'.
