WANGANUI TRAGEDY
(Press. Assn. —
M OTHER AND CHILD FOUND DEAD FROM GAS FUMES
■By Telegraph — Copyright).
WANGANUI, Saturday. In connection with the Sydney Place tragedy it appears that Mrs McGorrniek had been suffering from depression for some weeks, but everything in the house was found undisturbed by her husband, whose dinner was eooked and ready on the stove awaiting his arrival. The head of the unfortunate woman was covered with a coat. Her infant daughter, Patricia, aged six months, was in a cot in the adjoining room, which was filled with gas fumes. In another room of the four-roomed cottage was the only other child, but owing to a window being open he did not suffer from the gas fumes. Medical opinion is that both victims were dead for two hours before being discovered. Mrs Clara Elizabeth McCormick and her six months old child were found dead from the effects of gas poisoning in their home at Sydney Place, Wanganui, late on Friday evening.
