truman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Was it Freddie Mercury? He was killed by AIDS while still Queen. You might be right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanes teeth Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 George V's private physician,Lord Dawson of Penn,wrote in his own private diary that he had admistered a lethal dose of morphine and cocaine to hasten the kings end to prevent further strain on the family and so that the kings death could be announced in the next mornings Times. I can't think why he would record that in his diary if it hadn't done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why Murdoch bought it. As a republican he has all that power to have monarchs bumped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horribleblob Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Never proven - or disproven - in a court of law, chiefly because nobody saw any point in finding out. The man was dying anyway, and if his pain relief killed him before the illness did, it made no significant difference to anything... As a by-the by, nor was the suspected poisoning of Charles II.

I reckon that at that time the Murdoch clan were still residing down under at the Kings pleasure and had not yet embarked on their own empire building!

It shuts down breathing but if he hadn't had lung disease would it have shut it down completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanes teeth Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Everybody's lungs shut down completely sooner or later. It seems pretty clear that the kings shut down when they did because of Dawsons actions and that he therefore killed the king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shuts down breathing but if he hadn't had lung disease would it have shut it down completely? The choice would have been, to allow the King to live a little longer in agony, or for the Doctor to give him a does of painkillers to ease the pain. The doctor was aware that the dose needed to ease the pain would have in all likelihood been lethal as he documented it in his diary, but he judged it in the King's best interest to receive the painkillers.

Balpin Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I would have said Charles I Charles I was not the monarch, he had been deposed by the Revolution. And also it was not Britain in those days , he was King of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
