The bullet had entered Nelson's left shoulder, passed through his spine at the sixth and seventh thoracic vertebrae, and lodged 5 cm below his right shoulder blade in the muscles of his back. "Hardy, I do believe they have done it at last… my backbone is shot through."

BirthFactDeath (-) Sunday 5th of August 1979 44 years ago She Had Her Vengeance
Nurse Sally Potterton commits suicide by a shot in the head in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. The same day she lured 21-year-old drug dealer Maurice Searle to her house, whom she held responsible for her 17-year-old daughter Penny's drug addiction, aborted pregnancy and suicide. Searle was knocked out and tied to a bed, then slowly drained of all his blood while Sally explained her revenge on him. Then she called the police and told them what she had done and turned a German army pistol at herself.
