Principal Civil Medical Officer.

I have to report on my examination of the remains of

Inspector Terrett.

The body was brought to the Kowloon Mortuary at 5 P.M.

on the 10th June 1919, and was identified by Inspector Garrod, Sergeant Dorling, Inspector Witchell and myself as that of the late Inspector A. Terrett.

The remains was in an advanced state of decomposition.

External examination revealed no sign of any injury. No bones

were fractured.

The skull was not fractured. The abdomenal organs were

healthy and there was no evidence of any injury. The scrotum and penis was very swollen,

The contents of the thorax were more decomposed than

the rest of the body except the face this was probably due to the water etc inspired in the drowning struggles and has been

noted before.

The body was dressed in vest, shirt, collar, coat,

boots (canvas) and socks no drawers or trousers.

Taking all things into consideration I consider that

Inspector Terrett met his death by droming.

12th June, 1919.

(Sd.) JT. Smalley,

Medical Officer,

Kowloon and New Territory,

Acting Medical Officer of Health,
