Florence Bravo (née Campbell; 5 September 1845 – 17 September 1878) was a British heiress and widow who was linked to the unsolved murder of her second husband, Charles Bravo. On 21 April 1876, after three days of agonising illness, Charles died of antimony poisoning. Although there was widespread innuendo in the media about Florence's role in “The Balham Mystery”, following the second inquest into his death, no one was indicted, and the case never reached the courts due to lack of evidence.[1][2] During the Coroner's inquest, the lurid details of Florence's past affair with Dr James Gully, a married man 37 years older, became a topic of intense fascination, covered by newspapers ranging from The Times and The Daily Telegraph to The Illustrated Police News,[1][3] as well as publications in Europe, Australia, and the United States.[4]: 93
Previously known as Florence Ricardo, she had inherited £40,000 after her first husband, an alcoholic, drank himself to death. Florence herself lived for only two years after Charles Bravo's death, and died at the age of 33.
