Death in the Menagerie at St James Theatre

A Sunday morning death claims Bobby the two and a half year old lion star of M Taudevin’s St James's Theatre menagerie. His death followed a brief illness after performance suspensions, and his fellow lion Prince also died soon after, amid speculation of foul play. Doctors at King's College ruled natural causes for Prince, with diseased intestines, while owner Mr Wombwell suspected poison and cited past incidents. The report also notes Asia the male elephant at Alfort dying after a long illness and recounts related expert dissections and a small monkey’s death, contrasting big and small losses in the menagerie.
