He was an avid sportsman who was discovered drowned in the Thames river on December 31, 1888 and was the son of a medical practitioner. With the theory that the ripper was a butcher or a doctor or someone in a doctor's family, he was considered a suspect since the ripper didn't kill no more after 1888. He died in the last day or the year 1888. Those were the fact in considering him as a suspect.

Why was Montague druitt a suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders?
In those days whit the police invenstigating techniques, anyone could be a suspect in the Jack the ripper case. Montague John Druitt was an assistant schoolmaster in Blackheath, London and a graduate of Winchester College and an avid sportsman who was discovered drowned in the Thames river on December 31, 1888. He had heavy stones in his pockets making it clearly that it was a suicide. There is very little evidence with which to implicate with the cannonical five whitechappel murders. He was also a homosexual. Evidence which supports Druitt's being the Ripper is all but non-existant. In fact, his only true link can be made in his appearance and his likeness to many witness accounts.
