Details of Event
After pushing some full tubs with his head he complained of a severe headache, and shortly afterwards was found lying on a driving road in a paralysed condition. It was found that he was suffering from an apoplectic seizure, and he died on December 29th. A post-mortem examination proved that he had ruptured a blood vessel on the brain, and that the blood vessels showed degeneration of long standing.
