More Bizarre Occurrences Reported in Whitechapel Boarding House

Whitechapel, London - This reporter has learned of additional alarming developments regarding the peculiar incident at a Whitechapel boarding house two nights ago. While my previous account detailed a Turkish man taken ill and the arrival of Professor Julius Smith and others, new tragic details have now emerged.

According to authorities, the distressing situation took a tragic turn that evening. The ailing man, identified as Mr. Matthew Pook, appears to have succumbed to a case of hydrophobia and inflicted lethal injuries on Dr. Niels Hobbs in a bout of madness. Out of self-defense, the group was compelled to subdue Mr. Pook by force before he could harm others.

The matron of the establishment, Mrs. Agnes Grimm, corroborated that police had previously been called to the premises when Mr. Pook first took ill and became delirious. She harbors no ill will towards the professor or the others for their unfortunate intervention.

While my prior report raised concerning questions, police currently attribute the death to the consequences of hydrophobia. However, uncertainty remains about the afflictions leading to Mr. Pook's initial deterioration and any role sinister forces may have played.

Inspector Frederick Abberline of Whitechapel Division stressed that facts are still emerging. "We shan't rule anything out until we separate truth from fiction," Abberline commented. This reporter concurs. I shall keep Londoners apprised of any new revelations on this concerning case.
