== Dr Llewellyn ==

The severe throat injuries were considered and Dr Llewellyn pronounced life extinct. Dr Llewellyn suggested Nichols had been dead for less than thirty minutes.
As on-lookers started to group Dr Llewellyn ordered that the body should be moved to the mortuary in Old Montague Street.
== Inspector Spratling's discovery ==
Inspector Spratling made his way to the mortuary to find the mortuary locked and Mary NicolsNichols' body still on the ambulance.
Some time between 5am and 5.20am Robert Mann, keeper of the mortuary arrived with keys to unlock. Upon lifting her clothes Spratling discovered that Mary's abdomen had been savagely ripped apart from the breast bone. Her intestines were also exposed. For the second time that night Dr Llewellyn was fetched from his bed.
After reviewing the case on 19th October Chief Inspector Swanson acknowledged that the "absence of the motives which lead to violence and of any scrap of evidence either direct or circumstantial, left the police without the slightest shadow of a trace".
== Burial ==
Mary Ann Nichols was buried in the City of London Cemetery, Ilford, on the afternoon of Thursday, 6th September.
