The upper photograph gives a general view of the hotel after the fire. O’Donnell, who lost his life, was sleeping in an upstairs room facing Manchester Street. Apparently he groped his way across a landing and had just reached the door of a room on the opposite side when he was overcome by smoke. In the lower picture, taken from the rear of the house, the open window, marked with a cross, is that of the room at the door of which the body was found.
