[edit] John Bodkin Adams connection

Headmaster Vaughan Tomlinson died in August 1954. His widow, Gertrude, having remarried and now Gertrude Hullett, died soon after in mysterious circumstances on 23 July 1956, instigating the investigation into her doctor, John Bodkin Adams. He was tried at the Old Bailey in 1957 on two counts of murder and controversially found not guilty. Home Office pathologist Francis Camps identified 163 cases where Adams' patients died in suspicious circumstances.[1]
