A BOY'S DEATH IN HOSPITAL
COLLAPSE UNDER ANAESTHETIC [By Telegraph—Press Association] AUCKLAND, This Day. The inquest was opened to-day before Mr Hunt, S.M., on a boy aged six years, Paurini Ammunson, who collapsed under an anaesthetic at the Auckland Hospital on Monday evening. Evidence was given by the father, Peter Ammunson, of Avondale, that the boy enjoyed good health, but on Sunday last complained of stomach ache and by Monday had developed a temperature. A doctor was called and diagnosed case as appendicitis. The boy was admitted to hospital that afternoon and died under an anaesthetic. “We had fish for tea last Friday, and the child told me he had swallowed a small piece of fishbone,” said Mr Ammunson. “But the piece was apparently swallowed easily for he did not appear to worry over it and it did not cause him any pain.” The inquest was adjourned.
