Death of Eveline Downing

 On August 2, 1924, 31-year-old Eveline Downing with her mother spoke to Dr. Lade about her pregnancy. Her mother spoke, but Eveline denied it and wasn't happy about it. He then sent her to Lambeth Hospital for general peritonitis. The two did not mention any help with abortions or such to the doctor. This was also the first time he had seen her and the last one she saw him was 2 years prior. He would sign papers for her as she was a war widow. 

On August 6, 1924, Eveline died from an illegal abortion. She would die in Lambeth Hospital in London, England. She had likely gotten the abortion because war widows would lose their pension if they gave birth. The person who had performed this surgery was skilled and was likely in the medical field. It's possible that the person who did the operation was trying to help her out but unfortunately resulted in her death. This person was never discovered, or at least in this case.
