I presume it is the Longships, but the only gruesome story I know relates to the Eddystone (sea area Plymouth ) where a keeper received a mouthful of molten lead while trying to put out a fire in the roof

Aah! So it was the Smalls where the decomposing body of a keeper was kept, so the other guy wouldn't be accused of murder?? Hence after that there were always 3 duty keepers
