Hey everyone,
I'm writing a historical novel set in England in the 1890s and need to set up a scene where a character, Thomas, dies. The problem is, he has to die through his cousin's deliberate inaction.
So what I wanted was for Thomas to have a medical condition where his health goes into some sort of crisis. The cousin rides off for help (it's historical, can't call an ambulance) but doesn't actually go for a doctor, and Thomas dies. It should be clear that if the doctor had arrived in time, Thomas would have survived.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what condition he could have?
Thanks in advance!
