Blackout Depression Causes Suicide: “He had been depressed since the war began, particularly because he could not go out in the black-out,” said a stepson at the inquest at the Leicester Town Hall on George William Pinsent, a 54-year-old widower, 118 Birstall Street, Leicester, who was found dead with his head in a gas oven at his home. A verdict of suicide while the balance of his mind was disturbed was recorded.
