“Major Taylor held an inquest on C. N. W---- yesterday. The deceased
was described as a fine healthy boy. On Sunday forenoon he was placed
on his grandmother’s knee to nurse, when he fell back and expired. A
verdict of death from natural causes was returned.”--_Evening Press,
York, January 1, 1896._
“SUDDEN DEATH.
“Yesterday, Mr. Reilly, Coroner, held an inquest on H. A. C----. It
appeared that the servant, in passing his room, heard him moaning.
Medical aid was procured, but he died in a few minutes. Deceased was
in the enjoyment of robust health previously. Verdict: ‘Death from
natural causes.’”--_Irish Times, Dublin, January 3, 1896._
“SUDDEN DEATH.
“Mr. H. W---- was suddenly taken ill between five and six yesterday
evening, apparently suffering from an apoplectic fit, and expired in
a few minutes. Mr. W---- was a gentleman enjoying most robust health,
and earlier in the afternoon was chatting genially with several of
his friends. An inquest will probably not be necessary.”--_Darlington
North Star, January 17, 1896._
“SUDDEN DEATH.
“The City Coroner held an inquiry on Saturday at the Stanley Arms
relative to the death of Alice M. A----, aged twenty-eight, who died
suddenly. On Friday she seemed in good health and spirits. From an
internal examination of the body Dr. Miller was of opinion that she
died of syncope or failure of the heart’s action. Verdict: ‘Death
from natural causes; to wit, heart-disease.’”--_Eastern Daily Press,
Norwich, January 20, 1896._
