Rawdon Vale Tragedy Coroner Finds Accidental Self Inflicted Shot
In the Rawdon Vale garage death of James Griffith a coroner ruled the pea rifle wound to his head accidental. The inquest found no suspicious circumstances and noted Griffith’s age 63 as a grazier and retired sergeant. He had been involved in a business deal and appeared financially secure. Evidence from Sgt Laurence and Griffith’s son supported the accidental theory despite questions about loading and handling in the cramped garage. The coroner expressed sympathy to relatives.
