Death Under Peculiar Circumstances.
Mr H. Naphtali, who has been in business for some years at Napier, and prior to that was a resident of Dunedin, died suddenly on Wednesday morning at Napier. At the inquest, the evidence showed that Naphtali went out about 9 o'clock, returning soon afterwards and shutting himself in a front room, where there was a gas stove. About noon a smell of gas was observed, and when the room was opened Naphtali was found dead on the floor, the gas-stove being turned full on, but not lighted, and the damper closed. The 2)oßt mortem examination, however, showed that the heart was in a shockingly diseased state, and that death was due to that, accelerated by inhaling gas. A verdict to that effect was' returned. — Press Association. .
