How can I make this murder scene better?
I'm writing a book, and I need to murder this character in a mysterious way.
Basically it's set in London, late 1800's. This older man is let out of prison/sanitarium (although he is completely innocent) and a few hours later his body is discovered and he's dead. He's an inventor+explorer if that helps. I can't find a way to kill him that I REALLY like. Anyone have any ways you'd be interested in seeing this character die?
Ps I'm just writing this for a bit of fun, I'm not taking it super seriously, I just need a bit of help getting over this part. Writers blocks a *****

Found by mud-larks on the Thames beach by Tower Bridge. They steal his watch, soveriegn purse and boots, then go and tell a policeman on the embankment that there is a dead man on the shore in the hope of a reward. In the mortuary the police doctor announces that he was not drowned (as they naturally supposed) but - as he speaks he dislodges a small thorn caught in the skin of the man's throat, pricks his own finger with it and falls unconscious to the floor....
This shouldn't cause writer's block by the way. Just carry on writing, omitting the murder scene and add it later when you get a good idea.
