Duke’s Death Instantaneous
Received Sunday, 9.20 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 29. The Duko of Kent received severe head injuries and a broken leg in the flyingboat crash. Death is believed to have been instantaneous. His body was thrown clear of the flames. Doctor Robert Kennedy, the first searcher to identify the Duke, said: “The machine was shattered into a thousand pieces. I recognised tho Duko and in addition saw his name on his identity disc. He lay perfectly composed. Death must have been instantaneous and the same applied to his companions.”
