SUDDEN DEATH.
An inquest was held at the Hospital to-day in connection with the death of a man named Fredk. Renner. Dr. A. M'Arthur, S.M., coroner, presided. In evidence 'it was stated that deceased was a general labourer working at the Hospital. Yesterday morning he went to work at 8 o'clock as usual. Soon after 9 o'clock, when he was mounted on a ladder, he was overcome by faintness. He called out, was helped down, and immediately taken into a ward. Medical aid was procured, and he temporarily recovered, but shortly after was seized with another attack and succumbed. Medical testimony was given that deceased, although healthy in appearance, may have died at any time from the effects of a little excessive exertion. A verdict was given in accordance with the medical testimony.
