The 2nd Victim: |
| From the 1945 film "And Then There Were None" |
 |
| The death of Mrs.Rogers shown in the game adaptation. |
Description:
We first get to meet Mrs.Rogers when the characters arrive into the mansion. She escorts them in and has a small talk with Vera Claythorne. Claythorne describes her as a mortal woman who seems terribly terrified as if something is out to get her with which Emily Brent agrees.
Accused of:
During the gramophone session, she and her husband are accused of withholding medicine from her former employer and as a result causing the old woman's death. And therefore they were able to claim the inheritance they knew the old woman had left them.
After their accusations are played, Mrs.Rogers faints right on the spot and is taken by the others to her bed and left to rest. The nursery rhyme is followed once again when Mrs.Rogers dies in her sleep suddenly.
"Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight."
Wargrave's Confession:
Wargrave's letter reveals that during the night he gave Mrs.Rogers an overdose of chloral hydrate and as a result she died peacefully in her sleep (her death was the most "natural" one because she was always haunted by the crime she did/ she was actually pushed around by her intimidating husband to do it.)
