NAPIER.
This day,
A man named Thomas Henry died at Kaikora yesterday as he was being conveyed to the Waipukurau Hospital to receive medical attendance. The man had been found in the Oero bush, and being in a thoroughly exhausted state, was taken to the Patsngata Hotel, the proprietor of which communicated with the police at Waipawa. He was brought to Kaikoro, but died at the railway station while waiting for the train from Napier. An inquest was held this afternoon, when the jury returned a verdict of "Death from exposure and starvation, accellerated by drink." Deceased had been frequently before the local court for drunkenness, and two or three months ago was remanded for medical examination on a charge of lunacy, but was afterwards discharged.
