Death of George A. Holland in hammer throw accident
George A. Holland died at his home after an accident at a vacant lot on St. Botolph Street near Garrison. He was among spectators as Massachusetts College of Pharmacy students practiced hammer throwing, an event drawing crowds along the field used daily by students. The hammer is a 16-pound iron ball on a four foot hickory handle, swung by athletes who release the hammer at momentum peak. Holland watched Wednesday afternoon when the hammer allegedly escaped control.
