It's tempting to force the evidence into a satisfying conclusion, especially when AI offers plausible narratives, but you resisted that temptation throughout. I also appreciated your transparency about where the AI got ahead of the records. That's a lesson every genealogist can take away. Sometimes the most honest conclusion is simply, "This is where the evidence ends, for now." I hope that coroner's report gives you the next piece of the puzzle.

Thanks Paul. Slowing down the research now and just being patient for the truth to emerge, is the plan!
