<P> For two months , Jekyll reverts to his former sociable manner , but in early January , he starts refusing visitors . Dr. Hastie Lanyon , a mutual acquaintance of Jekyll and Utterson , dies of shock after receiving information relating to Jekyll . Before his death , Lanyon gives Utterson a letter to be opened after Jekyll 's death or disappearance . In late February , during another walk with Enfield , Utterson starts a conversation with Jekyll at a window of his laboratory . Jekyll suddenly slams the window and disappears . In early March , Jekyll 's butler , Mr. Poole , visits Utterson and says Jekyll has secluded himself in his laboratory for weeks . Utterson and Poole break into the laboratory , where they find Hyde wearing Jekyll 's clothes and apparently dead from suicide . They find a letter from Jekyll to Utterson . Utterson reads Lanyon 's letter , then Jekyll 's . Lanyon 's letter reveals his deterioration resulted from the shock of seeing Hyde drink a serum that turned him into Jekyll . Jekyll 's letter explains that he had indulged in unstated vices and feared discovery . He found a way to transform himself and thereby indulge his vices without fear of detection . Jekyll 's transformed personality , Hyde , was evil , self - indulgent , and uncaring to anyone but himself . Initially , Jekyll controlled the transformations with the serum , but one night in August , he became Hyde involuntarily in his sleep . </P>
