The suicide by burning of a pro- fessor of Oriental mudics was des- cribed at an Eastbourne inquest re- cently.
A verdict of suleide while the balance of his mind was disturbed was returned on Kenneth Jumes Saunders, 54, of Eastbourne, whose body was found in a hut on the Downs above Eastbourne, with a can containing paraffin near by.
The coroner, Dr. E. F. Hoare, said: "The man appeared to have made up his mind to purchase the paraffin, and seems to have chosen this very unusual way of ending his life,
