There have been several 'deathbed confessions' , the most famous being from James Maybrick. In the 1970s a journal turned up labeled Jack The Ripper's Diary. It was proven to have come from the Victorian Age, the Ripper's time, and many believe it was written by Maybrick. That's not the problem though. Maybrick claimed to be the Ripper but has to be ruled out. He was not even availabe for several of the murders.
Maybrick was a English businessman and was also an arsenic addict. He was well into his 50s at the time of the murders and had many health problems, mostly due to his addiction.
Arsenic poisoning causes numbness and weakness and the Ripper crimes called for a younger killer, and most definitely a stronger one. Maybrick may have been an addict but he was not Jack The Ripper.
All other 'confessions' have proven to be false, and so we still must wonder exactly who the Ripper truly was.
