n September 22, 1789, Silas Deane, a second rate diplomat, booked passage on the ship Boston Packet. While walking the quarterdeck with the ship's captain, Deane suddenly complained of dizziness and stomach pain. The captain immediately put him to bed. Deane's condition worsened and four hours later he died. A rumor made its way around London in the weeks following the death of Silas Deane. According to certain people, Deane was depressed by his poverty, bad health, and low reputation, and committed suicide. John Cutting, a New England merchant, wrote that Deane overdosed on opium. John Quincy Adams heard that Deane's death was voluntary and self-administered. Tom Paine, the famous pamphleteer reported that Deane took poison. Alternatively, could his death been from natural causes such as stroke or perhaps murder by overdose or poison?
