FIRE DID NOT CAUSE DEATH
Inquest On Cork Woman
"The fire Had nothing to do with the death in this case." said Dr. R. B. O'Neill. Pathologist, when he gave evidence at an inquest in Cork to-day on a seventy-seven years old widow who was found dead on the smouldering mattress of her bed in a smoke filled room on February 24th last.
She was Mrs. Alice Falvey of 16 North Mall, where her death occured.
Dr. O'Neill told Coroner J. McCabe solr., that there were certain characteristics of death by carbon monoxide poisoning which were all absent in this case. That meant that the deceased had not been overcome by smoke. Had she been breathing when tho fire got under way he would have expected that there would be carbon particles and smut in the air passage. In the absence of these he formed the opinion that the cause of death was cardiac failure following artery occlusion. The heart and arteries showed advanced degenerative changes. Death did not result from burns.
LIVED ALONE
Sergt P. Dillon. Shandon, who represented the authorities, outlining the case said that the deceased lived alone in a ground floor room at 16 North Mall. During the evening of Februarv 24th. several residents of the same house had noticed smoke coming from her room and on entering had found her lying dead in bed. The mattress was smouldering but not blazing and the room was full of
smoke
Evidence to this effect was given by fellow residents in the house. Mr. William Barry and Mr. and Mrs. Ml. Manning, while Mrs. Mary Andrews, 8 Fort Street, said that she had found Mrs. Falvey cheerful when she visited her that.night. She had left about ten minutes to nine.
Sergt. W. Llncoln who visited the room at 9.40 p.m. said that he had found a number of burned matches on the floor and also a candle. This was in line with the smouldered portion of the mattress.
Remarking that Dr. O'Neill's evidence made it apparent that the fire had no connection with the death. Coroner McCabe suggested that the jury should bring in a verdict in accordance-with the medical evidence.
Without retiring the jury returned such a verdict.
Sympathy was expressed to the next of kin by Mr Bernard Dennehy, foreman of the jury and by Sergt. Dillon on behalf of the State. [1, 2]
