Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dr. Grimesby Roylott dies after being bitten by a Swamp Adder, the most venomous snake in India. I believe that Sherlock Holmes was not accountable for the passing of Dr. Roylott and was entirely innocent.

The scene where the man says, “My first instinct was to let him go this way and I would go mine”, shows that he wasn’t violent by nature.
