Self-Inflicted End: Thornton Jones

In 1924, Thornton Jones, a lawyer in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, woke up to find that he had slit his own throat while unconscious. Motioning for a paper and pencil, he wrote, "I dreamt that I had done it. I awoke to find it true," and died 80 minutes later. An inquest at Bangor delivered a verdict of "suicide while temporarily insane."
