Details of Event
It was said that when putting two lamps on to a lamp rack 6 feet high, he fell to the floor. Post-mortem examination revealed the fact that each of his kidneys only weighed one ounce, and the Doctors were all agreed that the cause of death was uraemia. The verdict of the jury was that his death, on June 23rd, was due to uraemia accelerated by a fall from the lamp rack on June 18th.
