      Wait, seriously? Do you have a source? Sounds like one of those spurious correlations to me.

        You’ll be hard pressed to find causation unless you find a gaggle of grandmas confessing.

        There’s a lot of herbology lore and stories. Maybe it’s all made up. But even today we find people poisoning their spouses and everyone’s reaction is always “why not just leave?”. So extrapolate that out and it seems reasonable.

          I kind of feel like if I had enough wits about me, I would confess to a bunch of random shit on my deathbed just to go out on a positive note.
