INDIAN OFFICER'S DEATH.
INQUEST AT KOWLOON MAGISTRACY.
DOCTORS MYSTIFIED.
An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at Kowloon Magistracy into the death of Subadar Jahn Singh, an officer of the Hong Kong and Singapore Battery who died at his quarters at Gun Club Hill on January 2
Mr. T. S.. Whyte Smith acted as Coroner and was assisted by a Jury. Addressing the Jury his Worship remarked that there was a certain" amount of mystery attached to the death of the deceased and all that was known was that he had died from acute gastritis. The medical evidence could throw very little light on the matter.. The Jury would probably, however, consider the inquiry rather a waste of time after hearing the, evidence, and, as a matter of fact, he had considered not holding an inquiry into the death:
However, there was the chance that with the assistance of the Jury, they would be able to clear up what was uncertain.
Medical Evidence,
Dr. J. E. Dovey, said that he examined the body of the deceased at the Kowloon Mortuary Ex ternally there was no signs of violence and the internal organs. were healthy. There was no appar ent cause of death. The stomach was examined by the Government Analyst and it was decided that death was due to acute gastritis. However, this disease was only a Secondary cause of death and the decision was not a satisfactory one. Witness said that there was bottle of methylated spirits in the Tom where the deceased died, but there was no smell of this from the.
body. In answer to the Croner, witness said that acute poisoning was caused by poisoned food, al
hel, or corrosive poison. Captain W. J. Shipsey, B.A. M.C., Medien officer of the Indian mili tary Hospital said that he was sum- moned to the deceased's quarters at Gun Club Hill at about 3 a.m. on January 2, and found the deceased apparently dead. He was informed that someone else had felt the de ceased's pulse still beating just before he came, so witness applied artificial respiration and gave two injections. He returned an half an hour later but the deceased was dead. Witness said that the deceas ed was very strong man and in a good state of health.
The Government Analyst. Mr. E. R. Dorey, Government Acalyst, said that he attended the post mortem and subsequently ex amined deceased's blood, liver and kidney. He found the blood had leen subject to carbon monoxide poisoning He could find no trace of alcohol.
In answer to the Coroner witness said that a quarter of a bottle full of methylated spirits would have certainly produced acute gastritis Carbon Monoxide poisoning was caused through inhaling fumes of charcoal or a bath geyser. Carbon monoxide poisoning was the most probable direct cause of death:
