FATALLY BURNED
Allan Hugh Dickson, of Eden street, Oamaru, aged 11 years, passed away at the Oamaru Hospital yesterday afternoon, succumbing to shock and burns received through the explosion of petrol in a tin. He was apparently endeavouring to rekindle a fire in the backyard by throwing petrol on the ashes, when the petrol exploded, enveloping him in flames, which caused severe burns on the face and arms. An inquest was opened before the coroner (Mr W. H. Frith) yesterday afternoon, and after the taking of formal evidence of identification, was adjourned sine die. -Otago Daily Times, 17/8/1933.
