Ivy managed to get to her front door, her husband heard scratching at his front door. He opened the door to find Ivy bleeding profusely on the front steps. Mr. Virgin attempted to staunch the flow of blood while his son ran to a telephone box to call an ambulance. Despite efforts to save her life, Virgin was pronounced dead at 1 a.m.
The coroner found Virgin had been stabbed multiple times to her neck, chest, shoulder, and arm. An x-ray found the knife used to kill her had become embedded in her shoulder, and the tip had broken off in the bone.
