Summary |
At five minutes before midnight on 20 January 1936 King George V of England was pronounced dead. The official cause of death, bronchitis, was confirmed by Lord Bertrand Dawson, the King's personal physician. In recognition of his care for the King during the last days of his life, Lord Dawson was made a Viscount. Dawson continued his illustrious medical career right up until his death in 1945. He was mourned by the Royal family, the political class and the media. But Dawson went to his grave with a dark secret. King George V hadn't died of bronchitis. Dawson had killed him. This startling admission was made in his personal diary, released to the public in 1986 |
