At an inquest on the body of Henry Eobson Wood, late manager of Dalgety's Gisborne branch, a verdict was returned by Mr. E. C. Levvy (Coroner) that death resulted from drowning. The Coroner found that there was no evidence as to how the deceased came to his death, tho only theory available being that while in the act of chopping willow branches with a tomahawk, he accidentally caught the end of the tomahawk in a branch and the tomahawk being deflected, inflicted a wound which partially stunned him, and that he fell into the water and was drowned.
