She was last seen playing near the Buckleburn bridge, from which she apparently slipped and fell. She received concussion when her head struck a projecting rock on the bed of the creek and in her insensible state she was drowned. The body was recovered about four chains downstream. The inquest was held at Queenstown. Mr J. W. Miller was the Coroner and Dr Ritchie Crawford, Invercargill, who examined the body, said that death was due to drowning. SKI INSTRUCTOR KILLED (P.A.)
