TUMOUR ON BRAIN
CAUSE OF SOLDIER'S DEATH [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] •WELLINGTON, Thursday Evidence which led to the inference that a man's death had been caused by a blimp he said he had received on the bead, when actually bis death was caused by a tumour on the brain, was revealed at an inquest to-day into the death of William Everiss, aged 57. A cousin of the dead man said Everiss was. a soldier stationed on Somes Island. He told witness that when returning from leave aboard the Cobar on September 24 he struck bis head. After that he became forgetful and on one occasion collapsed. He became worse and on October 21 was too ill to go on leave. He was admitted to hospital on November 3 and died on November 21. Mr, J. 0. Mercer said a post-mortem examination revealed a tumour under the surface of the brain, but there was nothing to show that Everiss had suffered any injury of the brain. The coroner, Mr. W. G. L. Mellish, found that the cause of death was a malignant growth on the brain.
