His foreman, George McGirr, learning of his disappearance, went at 8.10 p.m. to the shop, which he found full of gas-fumes, and noticing the gas-tube leading beneath a new tank, lifted the tank to find beneath it Larsen’s dead body with gas issuing from the tube. ; Larsen, owing to ill-health and other worries, had latterly been despondent. He leaves a wife and a family of eight children, the eldest being aged seventeen.
