The Recent Fatal Accident.
THE INQUEST. An inquest was held before the District Coroner, Mr J. Linton, at Bunnythorpe yesterday on the body of Mrs Annie McKellar, the circumstances of whose sad death were recorded in yesterday's issue. From the evidence given it appeared that the horse fell on a rolling stone at the foot of the hiil and the occupants were thrown out. Deceased got up and appeared unhurt. She helped to unharness the horse and then walked about 30 yards up the hill and stood there about an hour before she died. Her children were brought before she died, but the doctor did not arrive until half an hour afterwards. Dr Satchell's evidence went to show she died through rupture of the diaphragm, caused by a blow on the chest. Deceased was 53 years of age and leaves eight children, all grown up. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
