Dr. Delplace

Dr. Etienne Delplace was the director of the Charenton asylum for seventeen years. He died in early 1923 and was succeeded by Dr. François Leroux. The cause of his death remains uncertain, though Paul Mandrin, an employee at the asylum, told you it was probably an unfortunate accident involving the electroshock machine.

In the week prior to his death, Delplace had been preoccupied in studying a patient he kept in his private wing. He wrote about it in his journal. The fate of the patient after Delplace's death is unknown.
