What happened to Allen?[edit]

So ... was Alfred Allen alright afterwards? He didn't have a rope around his neck, but "the ensuing investigation" sort-of implies that serious injury/death may have occured. -- 174.24.198.158 (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. Yes, Allen was OK. I've just created a page for him right here if you want to know more. - PM800 (talk) 04:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'became increasingly slower'[edit]

Does this mean he became slower or that the rate of deceleration also increased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:5602:2301:21EE:8A16:7B87:53F (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
