Stephen ward mail

You're referring to Stephen Ward, the British physician and socialite who was at the center of the Profumo affair, a major political scandal in the UK in the 1960s.

Stephen Ward was a osteopath and a friend of Christine Keeler, a young woman who had an affair with John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War. Ward was also involved with Keeler and introduced her to Profumo.

In 1961, Ward was accused of being a Soviet spy and was arrested and charged with living off the earnings of prostitution. He was found dead in his flat in London in August 1963, just before his trial was due to begin. The cause of his death was determined to be a self-inflicted overdose of barbiturates.

Ward's death was a significant event in the Profumo affair, as it led to a major investigation into his activities and those of his associates. The scandal ultimately led to the resignation of John Profumo and had significant consequences for the British government.

As for mail, I'm assuming you're referring to the fact that Stephen Ward was known to have received letters and packages from the Soviet Union, which was seen as evidence of his involvement in espionage. However, it's worth noting that the exact nature and extent of Ward's involvement with the Soviet Union is still a matter of debate and controversy.
