Bristol and Exeter Journal, and Western Advertiser Wednesday 22 Feb 1928 Page 6 Column 7 BISHOP'S HULL. AGED RESIDENT'S DEATH. DOCTOR AND CONTRIBUTORY CAUSES. CORONER'S ENQUIRY. The death occurred on Friday at Netherclay cottages, Bishop's Hull, of Mrs. Ellen BAKER, widow of the late Mr. Thomas BAKER, at the age of 79 years. An enquiry into the cause of death was held at Netherclay-cottages on Monday afternoon by Colonel D. S. WATSON?, D.S.O., deputy-coroner for the district. Mrs. Florence Jane OATEN, of Bishop's Hull, wife of David OATEN, identified the deceased as her mother. In the course of a statement, she said about three months ago, at 6.30 a.m., her husband brought some tea upstairs to both her and her mother. Although it was dark, her mother did not like a light, so she (Mrs. BAKER) got out of bed and put the candle on the table. She then fell down, the rush mat upon which she was standing having possibly slipped on the linoleum. Witness got her mother back into bed and sent for the doctor. No-one but witness was with her mother in the room when the accident happened. The doctor later told witness her mother had sustained a fractured thigh. DOCTOR'S EVIDENCE. Dr. Arthur Edwin JOSCELYNE, at Taunton, said the deceased had been in very poor health for some eight months, and six months before the accident occurred she had been confined to her bed. When called three months ago he found deceased suffering from an extra capsular fracture of the hip, and nothing could be done but to keep her quiet, so that she might have as much rest as possible. She rallied fairly well and the fracture gave her no trouble but her heart became weaker, and she died on the 10th inst. In his opinion senile decay was the cause of death, whilst other contributory causes were chronic bronchitis, cerebral hemorrhage, and finally, weakness of the heart. The fall did not accelerate death. The Coroner returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. P.S. BULL was the Coroner's officer.
