A stomach was received from Kowloon Mortuary in February, from the body of a man found hanging on a tree, for examination to exclude poison taken previously. Hydrochloric acid was found in quantity in the stomach showing that a previous and unsuccessful attempt at suicide had been made.
A surgical dressing from an abdominal wound was received for the determination of the presence or absence of urine. The presence of an appreciable amount of urea enabled a definite answer to be given.
