Firstly let me apologize for the lack of photographs for this case.
It was the family's express wish that I do not publish the photographs taken during investigation of this Vampire's death. (yes, even Vampires can have family.) Wampyrus sauria is the most social Vampire of all the species and types and often has a great many friends in both the human and Vampire sectors of society. Some go as far as marrying humans and having children (who are not always Vampires themselves, see the page entitled 'The Change') However, all this social amiability has a price. As explained on the page entitled 'Truth & lies, Vampires are very very long lived. This means that they will out-live any human friends they make. Their spouses, children and even grandchildren grow old and die seemingly before their eyes. After this has happened several times many Vampires, particularly Wampyrus sauria because of their social nature, become increasingly depressed and eventually seek oblivion. Most use mundane methods such as carbon monoxide poisoning, walking in front of a bus or a shotgun to choose this but occasionally one will choose to end it all in a traditionally 'Vampire' way.
This is such an individual. The unhappy woman's husband had recently died of old age at 89 and she had used the following three weeks to ensure that her daughter (now looking rather older than the Vampire herself) and other family were financially secure and an able to survive without her. she had sold all her assets and used the money to set up various trust funds for her grand children and great grandchildren. Then she had written a long letter of apology to all those she was leaving behind.
Using a hypodermic needle she injected into her neck a fatal dose of oil of garlic and died shortly after of asphyxiation as the allergic reaction made her bronchial passages inflamed and blocked her airways. Her tongue also swelled, filling her mouth and adding to the blockage.
Within four minutes of administering the injection, she died.
