From Denis ARBOUR via email on 07 May 2008: There is something you should know: St-Jean-de-Dieu Hospital was a mental institute, an asylum. Narcisse probably suffered from some mental disorder. If I am not mistaken, the hospital had it's owncemetery. I'm possibly wrong but I think I remember seeing a documentary on TV about this hospital. To my recollection, at some point in time, unexplained events occured in the hospital, like unexplained deaths and patients mysteriously disapearing and soon... and the hospital had been hiding the truth about it. Is this the reason why an "anatomy inspector" ordered a priest to enter a death record?
