Took Life After Wasp Stings
What makes a woman take her life? It might be anything from wasp stings to mother love. Mrs Ida Brough, aged 49, of Ked-leston-road, Derby, became depressed after two wasp stings while on holiday. Twice she put her head in a gas oven, twice her husband pulled her away in time. Then he sent her to her sister’s lonely farm at Kirk Langley, Derbyshire, hoping the change would help. She took a chair to climb into a 2ft-deep water tank, where she was found drowned.
