Her death is considered to be a murder by strangulation. While her body was found with a severed throat, a fact that has been widely sensationalized, it is the strangulation that is believed to be the primary cause of death.
Here's what we know:
* Discovery: Elizabeth Stride's body was found on September 30, 1888, in Dutfield's Yard, a short distance from the Ten Bells pub where she had been seen earlier that evening.
* Injuries: She had a severed throat, but this is believed to have happened after her death. Strangulation is the most likely cause of death.
* Lack of evidence: Despite the horrific nature of the crime, there is very little evidence to connect Stride's murder with the other Jack the Ripper killings.
* Uncertainties: The exact cause of her death and the details of her murder remain debated and uncertain.
The mystery surrounding Elizabeth Stride's murder, like the other Ripper murders, continues to fascinate and intrigue people to this day.
