Reply to comment by sksksk1989 in TIL about Janet Parker, the last person to die of smallpox in 1978. She worked above one of the last labs in its last months of permission to study the virus. The day Janet's viral strain was confirmed, Henry Bedson, the doctor in charge of the lab, took his own life. by w0mpum

He was not found guilty in a court of law, posthumously. That is very different from it not being his fault or his responsibility.
