A SUDDEN DEATH.
James Young Wilson, a well-known and respected resident of Mornington, died at his residence, Gladstone street, yesterday. Mr Wilson carried on business in Lower Rattray street as a wool and hide merchant. On Wednesday last he complained of feeling unwell, and remained in bed for three days. On Saturday he went to business, and returned home about five o’clock. He retired to bed about midnight, and yesterday had his breakfast brought to him by his brother-in-law, Mr William Norman. An hour later he was found dead. Dr Moore was called in, but from an external examination was not prepared to state the cause of death. The coroner therefore ordered that a post mortem should be held. Deceased, who was thirtysix years of age, was married, with one child. His wife is at present absent from the Dominion. An inquest was to be held on the body at five o’clock this evening. -Evening Star, 2/6/1910.
Mr H. Y. Widdowson, coroner, held an inquest last evening into the circumstances attending the death at Mornington of James Young Wilson. The evidence adduced corresponded with the particulars published yesterday morning. In addition, Dr Stuart Moore stated that he had made a post mortem examination, which showed that the cause of death was acute oedema of the lungs. A verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned. -Otago Daily Times, 21/6/1910.
