The Timaru Herald of yesterday says: A young man named William John Wylie, aged 21, died very suddenly yesterday morning. He belonged to Oamaru, and had been in Timaru about a week, on a visit to his half brother, Mr T. Clark, blacksmith. He was in bad health, had been suffering from consumption, and under the doctor's hands in Oamaru for a considerable time. Mr Clark took his relative for a stroll yesterday morning, and as they were going up North street, Mr Wylie became suddenly and seriously faint and ill, and began spitting blood. Mr Clark asked Mrs Furby, opposite whose house they were, to allow his friend to sit down, and then ran off for Dr Thomas, and fortunately met him at his own gate. The doctor was in attendance within five minutes, and applied some restoratives, but in vain, and the young man died a few minutes after his arrival. As there is no doubt as to the cause of death, an inquest is not necessary. Mr Clark will accompany the corpse this morning to Oamaru, where deceased's parents reside. Mrs Furby was very considerate and kind, and did her best for the unfortunate young man in his dying moments. Constable Crawford happened to pass while Mr Clark was away for the doctor, and he went in and gave what assisttance he could. The corpse was removed from Mrs Furby's during yesterday.
