The setting of Van Gogh dies at Auvers on 29 July 1890 after a gunshot; later inquest and letters are the public file is the public file around 1890-07-29.

Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
