WOMAN FOUND DEAD.
•♦ Shortly before two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs Rosina Williams, a widow, 66 years of age, was found lying dead in the flower garden of her residence, 124 Bealey avenue. A neighbour of the deceased woman, Matthew Bateman, was cycling along the avenue and happened to glance into Mrs Williams's property and saw Mrs Williams lying on the ground. He immediately communicated with the police, and when an oflßcer arrived on the scene the woman had been dead about half an hour. It appears she had been cutting the edges of the lawn with a pair of shears when she had a heart attack, falling face downwards on the flower garden. Mrs Williams had been living by herself since the death of her husband in May last. The Coroner has decided that no inquest will be necessary.
