“ Accidental Oeath ” Verdict A TRAGEDY which shocked the' country came to, light


early on Friday morning jwhen, after an extensive


search of the district for 10-ye^r-old Miqhael Geldard, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Geldard, 10, Whitewell-drive, Clitheroe, poUce found his bodiyimja trhnk in his bedroom. At the inquest on Monday, it was revealed the boy had died from suffocation, and a verdict of “ Accidental death ’’ was recorded. Medical opinion wa8 that the boy had ’flu and felt “ seedy,” and had got into thb box to be snug, and warm.


Deputy Coroner (Mr. R. H. Rowland) that he was a heavy motor-lorry driver and that on Thursday, he left home about 4-40 a.m. He last saW his son alive at 8-50 the p re - ; ylous evening when he came | to say goodnight before going

why this child got In^o the box,” Dr. Bailey went on. “ In my opinion he had some kipd o f ' ’flu which affected his throat and was working Into his chest, and that he was beginning with pneumoriia. I think the child felt seedy and probably one explanation Is that he got into the box to He down and be comfortable and warm.”


“ I have tried to' understand


no sign of the boy having struggled to get lOut of the box. “ I think 'that [in the restricted air supply he would begin to feel ^owsy and just go off to sleep,” he added.


Dr. Bailey said thete was

After breakfast she told him he could' stay away! from school and that after she left the house he should lock the doors and go to bed. She went to work about 7-20


Deputy Coroner saldi that everyone who had heird of the tragedy had been horrified by it. From careful invjstiga- tlons that had been ma de be fore the Inquest and from the evidence he had heard there was not the slightest [doubt that It had been an accident.
