• Notes

  ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES DEATH FROM BURNS. The circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Jane Heavey, who died at the on Wednesday as the result of receiving severe burns at a fire at her house, 139 Taranaki Street, the previous evening, were investigated by the coroner, Mr. W. G. Riddell, S.M., yesterday. William Heavey, husband of the deceased, said the latter was about fifty-three years of age. When the fire was discovered deceased went downstairs, and witness followed her a minute or two afterwards. Being unaware that he had gone down, deceased went up again to rouse him, as well as some boarders. The next thing witness saw was his son carrying the deceased downstairs. Dr. Holmes was summoned, and ordered her removal to the hospital. Dr. Fitzgerald, house surgeon at the Wellington Hospital, said that the deceased was very badly burned, and when admitted to the institution was in a state of collapse, with a very weak pulse. The cause of death was shock, due to the large area df the burns. Michael Heavey, a son of the deceased, corroborated his father's evidence. The coroner returned a verdict' in accordance with the medical testimony. Source: Dominion, 12 October 1918, page 8. [5]
