Coroners Inquest Rules Death At Soldiers Home
The coroner's inquest into Albert Morris's death at the Soldiers Home in Bristol concluded with a verdict that Morris died May 7, 1909 from concussion of the brain due to a blow on the head with a stick wielded by John McKenna. Autopsy by William Fred Williams confirmed cerebral hemorrhages and meningeal congestion. The inquest, led by Coroner George A. Arnold, found the act of John McKenna primary cause, with no other party implicated.
