OLD AGE PENSIONERS DEATH.
A. FRACTURED SKULL.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Greymouth, Tuesday. An old age pensioner named William Levie died at the hospital yesterday under mysterious circumstances. He was found lying on Cobden Road unconscious, and taken to the hospital, where he died. The inquest was held to-day. Evidence was given by the doctors who made the post-mortem examination that death had resulted from a fractured skull, and the injuries could not have been inflicted by a fall, but were probably due to deceased being struck on the head. After a brief retirement the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by the fracture of his skull, but how the injury was caused the jury could not say from the evidence before them.
