Divorce paper makes very sad reading
If their son was still in touch he may have arranged a burial, as many inmates had family/friends to do this, and the informant on her death registration knew enough to know her parents' names which is not always the case with those who die in an institution.
Ancestry has an asylum record in 1909, signed by Sergeant Sullivan/O'Sullivan? who is listed as Medical Superintendent, Yarra Bend Asylum.
Yarra Bend Asylum
Case Books of Female Patients, 1862-1912 Vol PHe says:
"I have to report that it is not desirable that this patient should again be let out on probation to either her husband or her son. They have left the unfortunate creature live in a shanty all by herself, without any person with her to speak to, or look after her, or keep her in company. They live at Northcote and only pay her an occasional visit. This woman has been shamefully treated by them in leaving her lonely, by herself and neglected."Unfortunately the paper that this is written on obscures much of the admittance record but some notes about her saying that she 'has electricity in her body' can be seen. Also noted as being delusional and of recurrent mania, making all sorts of accusations about her husband.
Such a sad situation!
This is no help in finding information about her death; obviously her death certificate would give more info.
