Tom Thomson painted for a period of five years before meeting his untimely death in a remote wilderness lake in July 1917. He was buried in an unofficial grave, the coroner never examined the body but ruled his death accidental due to drowning. Thomson’s family hired an undertaker to exhume the body and move it to the family plot. This undertaker refused all help, and only worked at night.<\/p>\n

In 1956, John Little’s father and three other men, influenced by the story of an old park ranger who never believed Thomson’s body was moved by the undertaker, dug up what was supposed to be the original, empty grave. To their surprise, the grave still contained a body, and the skull revealed a head wound that matched the same location noted by the men who pulled his corpse from the water in 1917.<\/p>\n

In Who Killed Tom Thomson?<\/em> John Little continues the 60-year relationship his family has had with Tom Thomson and his fate by teaming up with two high-ranking Ontario provincial police homicide detectives. For the first time, they provide a forensic scientific opinion as to how Thomson met his death, and where his body is buried. Little draws upon his father’s research, plus recently released archival material, as well as his own thirty-year investigation. He and his colleagues prove that Thomson was murdered, and set forth two persons of interest who may have killed Tom Thomson.<\/p>\n
