TWO SUDDEN DEATHS
BOTH ELDERLY MEN CIRCUMSTANCES SIMILAR The death of an elderly man after collapsing in a Queen Street restaurant yesterday afternoon followed a somewhat similar case of a man dying in another Queen Street restaurant after collapsing in the street on Monday afternoon. Both men were widowers and in neither case will an inquest be necessary, heart trouble having been established as the cause of death. A resident of Takanini, Mr. Edward James Clayton, aged <JB, became ill while in a restaurant early yesterday afternoon. A doctor was called, but Mr. Clayton was dead when be arrived. A tragic feature was that Mr. Clayton was accompanied by a lady to whom he was to have been married shortly. On Monday afternoon, Mr. George Louis Heatlev Seymour, aged SS, living at 15 Kiwi Road, Point Chevalier, collapsed while alighting from a motorcar in Queen Street outside a restaurant. He was carried into the building, where he died shortly afterward.
