[1] Joseph Lelyveld, The New York Times, 28 November 1986, quoting newly revealed notes from the archives at Windsor Castle: "As he lay comatose on his deathbed in 1936, King George V was injected with fatal doses of morphine and cocaine to assure him a painless death in time, according to his physician's notes, for the announcement to be carried 'in the morning papers rather than the less appropriate evening journals.'"
