X-RAY FATALITY
CHILDS DEATH IN INFIRMARY. AN INEXPLICABLE ACCIDENT. (Rec. 11.50 p.m.) London, December 17. Doris Laverack, aged eight, was killed on an X-ray table at Hull Infirmary. The electric current passed through the girl thence to the mother, who is suffering from burns. The doctor also received a shock getting the dead child off the table. There was a vivid flash of current, first traversing a nurse, thence to the child and thence the mother, who was standing at the head of the table. The mother was rendered unconscious, but recovered. The nurse was Beverly burned about the legs, arms and body. The accident is regarded as inexplicable. There have been thousands of successful examinations by the same apparatus.—Australian Press Association—United Service.
