DEATHS IN SYDNEY
TITLED LONDONER AND HER DAUGHTER. Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. SYDNEY. October 18. Lady Evelyn Marie Tempest, aged 65, a Londoner visiting Sydney, was found dead in a bathroom at Potts Point, and her daughter, Hilary, aged 32, who whs found critically ill, died tonight. A police investigation led to the discovery of bottles which had contained drugs, mostly used to induce sleep. The medical opinion is that Lady Tempest died of a cerebral haemorrhage, her health having been indifferent lately, and that her daughter, who was also in indifferent health and a sufferer from insomnia, became unconscious after discovering her mother’s body. The pair were prominent social figures. Lady Tempest was the widow of the late Sir Percy Tempest, a British engineer in the Southern Railway Company.
