一个病房的两名住院病人死亡。怀疑匹洛卡品中毒，随后通过尿液分析证实。间接证据有力地表明，病房里给病人吃的食物是掺假的。警方的调查未能获得任何进一步的信息，在调查中作出了公开的判决。为了防止类似事件的发生，随后采取的预防措施——密封食品容器和手推车——花费了4.3万英镑。此外，食物仓被锁上，而存放于病房药房的药物则受到更严格的管制。
Two inpatients of one hospital ward died. Pilocarpine poisoning was suspected and subsequently confirmed by analysis of urine. The circumstantial evidence strongly suggested that the food given to the patients in the ward had been adulterated. Police inquiries failed to elicit any further information, and open verdicts were returned at the inquest. Precautions taken subsequently to prevent a similar event--sealing food containers and trolleys--entailed a capital cost of 43,000 pounds. In addition, food stores were kept locked and tighter control kept on drugs stored in ward pharmacies.
