- I believe court proceedings are a matter of public record. If you're really
- interested, you could try mailing the reporter at:
-
- Kathy Marks,
- c/o the Independant Newspaper,
- Newspaper Publishing PLC,
- 40 City Road,
- London EC1Y 2DB
-
- or the doctor at:
-
- Dr. Toseland,
- c/o Toxicology department,
- Guy's Hospital,
- London SE1
-
- or as a long shot
-
- The Coroner's Court,
- Luton,
- Bedfordshire.
-
-
- Add U.K. or England at the end of each of these.
