    Tom Slemen did write about this man in a cylinder. I remember reading it, but cant remember which volume of Tom`s books it was in.

    This could be an interesting thread if we could unearth a few more facts about it? I've never heard of this story before. It sounds fascinating though.

    similar to the old sealed Egyptian jar that was found in Liverpool, they took it to Liverpool museum who opened it, inside was a cotton cloth of some kind, turned out to be a sanitary towel that was thousands of years old, definitely Egyptian but not sure what period it came from

    Well I have only just got up. Couldnt sleep last night, still awake at 2.30, then had to be up for work this morning at 6am. Alarm went off, so I changed it to 6.30am. Took my time, as I am so tired. Got a very hard day today, as I am on with my boss, dont finish till 10am tomorrow and I could just go back to sleep now even.

    Indeed a crime scene , however is this scene 1 or scene 2, or in fact a crime ?. The original location of death or when placed into the capsule would be the first crime scene, so lets look at Clifton Road, is this where it all went horribly wrong ?, was it intended as a temporary hiding place from his creditors ?, eventually becoming his coffin. He was obviously assisted by an associate, maybe a family member or business partner who else could have nailed the lids down ? .

    It would be interesting to see it the capsule/coffin had any breath holes ,although we have evidence of domestic comforts....... bedding and pillow.

    Could it be that his death was a terrible accident , his associate in a panic , realising what had happened, took the body contained in the capsule by horse and cart from Clifton Road eventually burying it at its place of discovery .

    Just a thought

    Hi Johnny,

    Sorry, I haven't got the map for Clifton Road, Everton.

    Fulford Street: he's not too far from Skirving street, home of the black widows, and their life insurance scams. I wonder whether insurance was a motivation? His wife, or business partner may have discovered another way to pay off his creditors. I'd expect the insurers would want to see a body before paying out though? Maybe he was just lying low for a while, avoiding his creditors and he accidentially suffocated?

    Accidents do happen...but our minds always want to build a more sinister case.

    If it's the Clifton rd I know, it's in Tuebrook.

    Of course Dazza, its human nature, never thought about those orrible black widows from nearby skirving street having something to do with it, he he , someone trying to stitch them up by dumpin the capsule on there doorstep.

    Joking aside , I think it was an accidental death,
