    Poor James, its so sad, I have unfortunately heard of this hanging whilst they could have easily saved themselves, shows determination to end their life. How very sad. Rupture could have been anything really, a wound maybe that wouldn't heal. Thanks a million.

      It's. It the first story we have covered where the poor victim was determined to end their life. It's such a sad way to go. I guess nowadays, there is more support. Definately more than people had over 100 years ago.

      We are gutted to not be able to find his final resting place. We've searched all records online without success. I'm thinking perhaps, when we do the walkthrough of the graveyards and cemeteries where some of the people we have talked about are buried, we could look for his headstone at the same time. We have three places here where we live and he should be in one of them I would have thought.

    The term rupture in that time period referred to what is now called a peri-umbilical or inguinal hernia. The condition can be benign, and relatively painless. However, in the early years of the last century, if a hernia strangulated, i.e. the intestine protruded through the opening, this would lead to a slow and extremely pianful death over a period of several days. The condition was relatively common among labourers who performed heavy work, so it is likely that Mr. Trickett had seen or heard of workmates or others dying from this cause, and, knowing the inevitable outcome, decided to commit suicide rather than suffer as a result of the hernia strangulating.

    I think rupture is like something burst or leaked. My old mum died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm which meant the aorta had been leaking then burst. It was very quick.

    Even today People sometimes end their lives in prison in a similar sitting down manner. In 1915 WW1 was raging, perhaps James felt guilt about not being in the military, or perhaps he had been given a white feather. Or maybe someone harmed him because they had lost family members in the Great War and felt resentment about James not doing his bit.

    My Grandad committed suicide in the grounds of Hawarden Castle. He was on his knees and could have stood up at anytime as I understand it. Suiside was against the law in those days and usually not allowed a burial in the churchyard. However he was allowed to be interned with his mother who was already buried. I think a rupture is a weakness of the internal system and results in a protrusion into another part of the body.

    Very interesting video again! I love these tales the only thing I think of for a rupture is something in the stomach the whole thing seems strange to me maybe he was murdered. My son once saw a ghost in a subway in the town where I live needless to say I would never go there alone!. Thank you I will go and watch some more now.

    • @DaysofHorror
      @DaysofHorror  Рік тому +1

      From a few comments already on this video, the likelihood of him taking his own life seems probable the more I think about it. He was obviously struggling and perhaps he didnt want to burden his family with it. The pain he may have been suffering all those years would have been building up to a point he had just had enough. Its a sad tale, but again, one I think a few people dont mind us telling as it kind of helps people know that this man once existed and worked hard for his family and community.
      The ghostly tale is just something I grew up with and with it being 'Owd (or old) Jim, it sort of goes cap-in-hand with the real story we told.

    back when I used to be a young en... I used to get up to no good. long story short whilst in prison at Lancaster farms a young lad killed himself by hanging from the bunk bed... he sat himself down an sat ther do die... I always thought how could he of done that as that's not the normal way to do it... I asked a nurse in our family how that could of happend in general conversation as I always thought foul play... but apparently if you tie it around your neck tight enough... you pass out and then die. it's the pass out part is what stops them from stopping themselfs from the inevitable.

    Very interesting tale, and I’ll be following you from now on, but having worked in prisons a long time, I’ve seen numerous ways in which ways people have effectively hunt themselves…..and it’s incredibly easy to do, if your mind is determined. The noose, sacarf and string only needs to be 2 inches shorter than the drop from being stood up. James could then have just dropped himself down into a sitting position, and could/would have died instantly the moment the noose became taught…..snapping vertebrae in the neck and causing death, almost immediately, I know it is morbid, but hope it helps

    It was a serious crime to do away with yourself in those days so he would have been buried in unconsecrated ground. It would be hard to find his grave, my heart goes out to him and his poor wife and family. He must have been in terrible pain and saw no end to the discomfort he had. I can well understand how he must have felt, stories like this make me wish I could stretch out a hand and hold his hand or give them all a hug, James his wife and family.

    It’s not uncommon for people with chronic pain to commit suicide. It takes a toll on your mental health. It is very isolating and exhausting. Even today when there are many medications that can improve quality of life for those suffering with crippling pain, pain medications are so demonized and so many suffering are not believed… that sadly it still ends up feeling like the only option for finally getting any relief. People can only endure so much, there has to be an end at some point.

    A rupture can be many things in a man. But I can think of three possibilities for a rupture in a a man who is past his prime. The easiest thing to rupture especially if you are involved in hard work is a hernia which very painful. But there is another one which is also very possible for an older man doing hard work and that is a rupture of the tendons. The tendons hold the muscle onto the bone and a rupture can occur in many places in this instance. There is also the rupture of the spleen.
    I was also wondering if apart from murder whether this man maybe had a heart attack or embolism and fell and his scarf caught on the bridge and he was not in a physical condition to release the string and the scarf which hastened his death through strangulation. Of course we will never know because we dont have pictures of the forensic evidence.
    Shame James R.I.P. Sir.
