DEATH HASTENED
FATALITY AT FOOTBALL MATCH
GALLOPING CONSUMPTION CASE
LONDON, November 10.
How death, from a fractured skull due. to an accident' in a * footall match intervened when the victim, who was aged 20, might have soon died from galloping consumption, was described at an iuquest at Battersea on a youth who was found dead in bed the day after the match in which he had not complained of injury.
A pathologist, gave evidence that the youth’s skull was so thin that it could lie perforated with a hatpin. He added that there was an extraordinary coincidence, as consumption would have killed him in' a few weeks, and possibly in a few days. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
