A strangers dream put him to death.

I am going to make this as short as I possibly can. I came across this and it reminded me of another story that I have told here (or perhaps another site) several years ago. In that story I told about a man who was so bereaved over his wife's passing that he would not let the womenfolk dress his wife for burial. He did it himself. The wife's mother would dream that her daughter came to her and told her that she was murdered by her husband. The body would be exhumed from the grave and a doctor's examination would prove that the husband did murder her. This (the below link) tells of a man who ran to his neighbor's home distraught. His wife was suffering another fit of asthma and this one was far worse than any other. Could the neighbor come and offer help? The doctor was far too far to reach at the moment. The neighbor did come along but the wife was already dead. Her child lay beside her sleeping. On the day of the funeral procession a man came to block the road to the burial site. He had a dream that the woman had been murdered and he insisted that the woman's body be examined by a doctor. So off they went to where the nearest doctor was. This would have been quite the trek. Google maps claims that it would take 11 hours to walk there, and it might have been a little better or a little worse then depending on terrain and wagon. Anyway the doctor said that yes, she had been murdered. The husband would hang for the murder and his death would be via strangulation as the noose did not kill him straight away.
