 |
| From the 1945 version of "And Then There Were None" |
 |
| The death of Marston (Broadway Play Version) |
Description:
In the book, he's described as a young/handsome rich man that has the physique of a "Greek God." Through his actions, he shows that he's brash and impulsive. For example, in page 9 of the book(Nook Edition) we first get to meet him while he's driving his car at a fast pace and then he steps out gloriously to face the others in Narracott's boat.
Accused of:
During the gramophone session, he's accused of killing two young children (John and Lucy Combes) through reckless driving. He admits that it's true and instead of being apologetic about it he goes on to complain that he got his license taken away as a result.
Death by:
Soon after the gramophone stops playing, he confesses to what he has been accused of nonchalantly. Then he resumes drinking and chokes to death therefore making him the first "victim" and the first line of the nursery rhyme come true.
"Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine."
Wargrave's Confession:
Wargrave's letter reveals that during the commotion of the confessions he slipped Dr.Armstrong's potassium cyanide into Marston's drink.
