DEATH OF MR. S SOUTH We regret to record the death of Mr. Samuel South[1], of Langhedge House, 43, Snells-park, Edmonton, which occurred on Thursday in last week. An inquest upon the deceased was held at the Edmonton Town Hall on Monday. Samuel South[2], of River House, Devonshire Hill, his son, said that the deceased had been generally in good health and was robust. Deceased had been a flower pot and brick manufacturer. He came to see witness on Wednesday morning, when the latter noticed that he looked unwell and passed a remark to that effect. Deceased replied casually "I don't feel quite up to it, boy". During witness' absence from the office the deceased became ill, and was taken home in a trap. He went to bed in the afternoon and on the following day was found dead by his wife. Dr. Davis, locum tenens for Dr, Gurney Thompson, said that he did not see the deceased alive. A post mortem examination showed that the heart was greatly enlarged and there was rupture of the right side of the heart which evidently pointed to an aneurism. Dr. Thompson had attended the deceased, but witness had been unable to get to the records which were locked up. Mr. South[2] volunteered the information that seven years ago the deceased had been to a specialist for a rupture of a vein in the head. The Coroner, who sat without a jury, said that he found that death was due to the rupture of an aneurism at the right ventricle, and entered a verdict of "Death from natural causes". The funeral will take place today (Friday) at the Edmonton Cemetery. |
