Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Moving the blanket from the body, Dr Douglas could see the rather desiccated corpse of an adult man. He was of about average height, with grey hair and about two week’s growth of beard, with the deeply tanned skin of a man who spent a lot of time outdoors. There were no signs of violence that may have lead to his death.

" Intial examination shows no signs of trauma." DrDouglas carefully turns the body to examine the rear.

"He may have died of thirst after locking himself in here," says Bonnie. "Do ye ken how he died, Doctor?"

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Father Ó Shaban observed the body with quiet curiosity.
"English comrrades, is ze tradition of ze english and scottish to leave corpses arround? Zis house is so fill of corpses, zis place appears as ze cementery."
While commenting this the priest was cheaking the furniture than Hamish has pushed, maybe it could have something relevant.

" Without a proper medical examination i couldn't say for certain. Though it is the most likely cause. No signs of obvious physical trauma[ and that they were securely barricaded in the room also adds to that conclusion. "/color]
Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
Ascot joins Shaban in having a poke around the room.
"Actually, I'm British Rhodesian, but generally, Father, dead people go in the ground even in Scotland, is my understanding. Although this is my first time here too."
"Back home, we get the odd dead person chewed on by lion or tiger, or killed by a hundred other nasties. But they're all pretty fresh and get cremated or buried in short order. I've never seen so many old human bones in one place in my life before."
He pauses mid-search for a second. "Except Paris. There are an awful lot of old bones in the catacombs under Paris. I went on a tour of the catacombs once, just after the War. I don't think that helps us here, though."
OOC: Is there anything visible on the body to help identify him, like a necklace or ring? |
Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
"Oh, aye," says Bonnie. "We bury our dead too. But this man died alone and trapped in here, so nobody found him before now. Perhaps we should search him. He may have something on him that would identify him."

Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
The man had a nondescript silver ring on one of the fingers of his right hand but no other jewellery. Examining the body more closely, Dr Douglas found some rather crudely done tattoos on his arms, mainly with a nautical theme.
Most of the furniture had been broken up to bar the door so it gave no clue as to the identity of the late occupant of the room.

"I dinna ken just how long he's been sealed up in here," says Bonnie. "I canna place how old his clothes are. I've been too busy working on cars to pay attention to the history of fashion."

Ascot checked the staircases but this was indeed the top floor.
Bonnie was unable to determine how old the clothes were, but if pressed, she’d describe them as ‘old-fashioned’.

"Jusging by the tattoo's it may be a good shout that this gentleman may be one of sailors who cane back from Africa[, looks like they brouhht back more than they bargained for. Shall we slowly make our downstairs?"/color]
Re: To the Manor borne… (everyone)
"Aye, let's go downstairs," says Bonnie. "If there's a basement, we should check it next. He must have been behind that door for a long time. He may have been there over a century. His clothes did look old-fahsioned."
