ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES.
[Pan Press Association.] INGLEWOOD, September 4. A young man named Bellamy, while walking down Mountain Road, in the centre of the town, this morning, suddenly gave a scream aTid fell down, apparently in a fit, striking his head against a doorstep in falling. He bled profusely from his nose and mouth and blood appeared to be'^asphyxiating him. Considerable difficulty was experienced' in opening his mouth, when it was found that his false teeth had jsumbed in his throat. These were removed, but all efforts to effect relief failed, and he expired in a few minutes, to all appearance asphyxiated. The doctors have not yet given their opinion ns to the part the teeth placed in causing death.
