Did Bidwell die by his own act in debt and grief
Ill and without money George Bidwell, linked to the Bank of England fraud, was believed in Butte to have died by poisoning after his brother Austin’s death. Undertaker Joe Richards and doctors weighed poisoning as the cause, while Bidwell refused Eastern aid and had his brother Austin embalmed. The two brothers rose from New England roots, tainted by their Tweed-era crimes and a notorious London bank plot.
