The body was lying naked in the middle of the bed, the shoulders flat, but the axis of the body inclined to the left side of the bed. The head was turned on the left cheek. The left arm was close to the body with the forearm flexed at a right angle & lying across the abdomen. the right arm was slightly abducted from the body & rested on the mattress, the elbow bent & the forearm supine with the fingers clenched. The legs were wide apart, the left thigh at right angles to the trunk & the right forming an obtuse angle with the pubes.
The whole of the surface of the abdomen & thighs was removed & the abdominal Cavity emptied of its viscera. The breasts were cut off, the arms mutilated by several jagged wounds & the face hacked beyond recognition of the features. The tissues of the neck were severed all round down to the bone.
The viscera were found in various parts viz: the uterus & Kidneys with one breast under the head, the other breast by the Rt foot, the Liver between the feet, the intestines by the right side & the s pleen by the left side of the body. The flaps removed from the abdomen and thighs were on a table.
The bed clothing at the right corner was saturated with blood, & on the floor beneath was a pool of blood covering about 2 feet square. The wall by the right side of the bed & in a line with the neck was marked by blood which had struck it in a number of spearate splashes.
Postmortem examination
The face was gashed in all directions the nose cheeks, eyebrows and ears being partly removed. The lips were blanched & cut by several incisions running obliquely down to the chin. There were also numerous cuts extending irregularly across all the features.
The neck was cut through the skin & other tissues right down to the vertebrae the 5th & 6th being deeply notched. The skin cuts in the front of the neck showed distinct ecchymosis.
The air passage was cut at the lower part of the larynx through the cricoid cartilage.
Both breasts were removed by more or less circular incisions, the muscles down to the ribs being attached to the breasts. The intercostals between the 4th, 5th & 6th ribs were cut through & the contents of the thorax visible through the openings.
The skin & tissues of the abdomen from the costal arch to the pubes were removed in three large flaps. The right thigh was denuded in front to the bone, the flap of skin, including the external organs of generation & part of the right buttock. The left thigh was stripped of skin, fascia & muscles as far as the knee.
The left calf showed a long gash through skin & tissues to the deep muscles & reaching from the knee to 5 ins above the ankle.
Both arms & forearms had extensive & jagged wounds.
The right thumb showed a small superficial incision about 1 in long, with extravasation of blood in the skin & there were several abrasions on the back of the hand moreover showing the same condition.
On opening the thorax it was found that the right lung was minimally adherent by old firm adhesions. The lower part of the lung was broken & torn away.
The left lung was intact: it was adherent at the apex & there were a few adhesions over the side. In the substaces of the lung were several nodules of consolidation.
The Pericardium was open below & the Heart absent.
In the abdominal cavity was some partially digested food of fish & potatoes & similar food was found in the remains of the stomach attached to the intestines.

Deja, why didn't you put the tag "Too much text for a fucking description" on this?
Deja is too "busy" with her weekly Tuesday night "private time".
Also known as TF2
uh, cause i didn't see that much text when i was in the approval process... wow, that's a little excessive, eh?
A bit, yeah...
Sorry, the details make me drool.
Die, you son of a bitch!
nice reading :D
<Didn't read past "Kelly"
She was one of Jack the Ripper's if I'm not mistaken.
yeah, i remember reading about this one day... indeed it was JTR who killed her...
Yep, his final victim. Played by Heather Grahm in the film "From Hell."
what gave that away 1rish1? the "jack the ripper" tag?
I didn't read anywhere near that far down. I recognised the pic first, name second.
Wrong, hankrecess. It was in the film "License to Drive".
hahah
from hell was pretty cool, i think i'm gonna download it sometime in the future. i've also downloaded the comic by alan moore, but i haven't read past the beginning yet.
looks like a cool comic, though.
She must have really pissed someone off
maybe she had it coming
Oh yeah, death shake.
again?
This SexualisPsychopathia fellow strikes me as a bit strange... and coming from a self proclaimed Team Death official... um... yeah
Goddamit, Asphalt, I got your old Avatar in a couple of WIPs... =/
Sorry Claude, I got bored with my tablet and made the redux version. I could go back to the old one if ya want
ive seen one where its one of the whore all stitched up and put back together. it rule she has like a football stitching from her vag to her face.
That's crazy.
that must've been the second last, because they only got realy violent near the end of his killing spree, i think.
he only cut the throats of the first two victims, right?
I believe so Vic, but then I heard a theory that the first two were possibly done by somebody else. Bah, who knows?
I agree with the description, she is pretty dead.
She died??
i think they were able to save her actually. Medical science was great back then
they could rebuild her. they had the technology!
It didn't actually say in the description whether or not she was dead... so we can only really guess.
You've never heard of Jack the Ripper then ?
Stick a leech on it and come back next week.
This isn't the Dark Ages y'know
i think it was self-inflicted...
That's crazy.
So.. what killed him?
I read through all of it but stopped at the "shoulders" for a moment to see if there actually was a picture down there.
well.. her..
She was Jack the Ripper's final (known) victim.
I figured as much, but thank you :)
What I meant was, what really killed her. The list of injuries is impressive.
From what I've read it was the cut to the throat which killed her. The rest of the mutilating was done post-mortem.
She kept him busy for a good while.
