THE CASH OF DROWNING AT THE HOSPITAL.
We noted in our issue of yesterday th death by drowning of Thomas Fuller at the Hospital. The following further particulars have been received:—lt is supposed that the unfortunate man made away with his life deliberately while in an unsound state of mind. It appears that Fuller had asked to go out during the evening of _ Monday, but was refused permission, owing to his peculiar manner exciting a suspicion that he was light-headed. At about 10 o’clock one of the nurses reported that Fuller was missing. The police were at once communicated with, and an active search commenced. It was found that the man had escaped through the window, but no traces of him could be discovered until yesterday morning at half-past seven o’clock, when Mr Brown, dresser at the Hospital, discovered Fuller’s body in the river, between the Hospital boat-shed and the bridge, lying in about seven or eight feet of water. The body was removed to the dead house. An inquest will be held.
