Thomas Edmund Alexander Stowell (1885–1970) was an American physician, surgeon, and writer known for his contributions to medical literature and his controversial theories regarding the identity of Jack the Ripper.

Early Life and Education

Thomas E. A. Stowell was born in 1885. He pursued a career in medicine, attending medical school and eventually becoming a physician. His early education laid the foundation for his later work in both medicine and writing.

Medical Career

Stowell had a distinguished career as a physician and surgeon. He was known for his expertise in various medical fields and contributed to numerous medical journals. His work was respected by his peers, and he was considered a knowledgeable and skilled practitioner.

Writing and Theories

In addition to his medical career, Stowell was an avid writer. He wrote extensively on medical topics, but he is perhaps best known for his controversial theory regarding the identity of Jack the Ripper. In 1970, Stowell published an article in The Criminologist suggesting that the infamous serial killer was actually Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, a member of the British royal family.

Jack the Ripper Theory

Stowell's theory was based on his interpretation of historical documents and medical records. He believed that the Duke of Clarence suffered from syphilis, which led to mental instability and violent behavior. Stowell's claims were met with skepticism and criticism from historians and Ripperologists, as there was little concrete evidence to support his assertions.

Legacy

Despite the controversy surrounding his Jack the Ripper theory, Stowell's contributions to medical literature and his career as a physician remain respected. His work continues to be of interest to those studying the history of medicine and the enduring mystery of Jack the Ripper.
