HANGS HIMSELF IN HIS
ROOMS.
{By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRjISTCHURCH, Last Night. A well-known Christchurch dentist, named Harry Donald Whitehouse, committed suicide in the rooms that he occupied as a dwellingplace and surgery in Hereford Street, opposite the' Alliance Insurance office, last night. He had had financial and domestic troubles recently, and these had prayed upon his mind, causing him to be greatly depressed. He was in bad bodily health during the past few days. Yesterday he seemed to be brighter, and saw a number of friends during the afternoon , and evening, but when his rooms were entered this morning he was found hanging from the ceiling of his bedroom by a cord, which had been tied to a hook screwed into the ceiling. At the inquest held to-day, the coroner returned a verdict that deceased had committed suicide by hanging himself while in a state of unsound mind.
