INQUEST.
SUDDEN DEATH AT PAREORA.
On Wednesday evening, Allan Coupland, a single man living at Otipua, was visiting a friend named Wilkins at Pareora West. He had supper and was preparing to leave when he was taken with a seizure, and collapsed and died before medical aid could be summoned. An inquest was held at Timaru Courthouse last evening by the District Coroner (Mr E. D. Mosley). Evidence was given by Arthur E. Wilkins, Archibald Coupland, John Coupland, Dr. Ussher, and Constable Swan. The verdict, as a result of a postmortem examination, was returned that death was due to syncope, following on acute oedema of the lungs as a result of an embolism. -Timaru Herald, 5/11/1926.
