SWANSEA PARK DISCOVERY. "Exceptionally Sad Story at the Inquest. Mr. J. Viner Leeder, the Borough (;o-one! held an inquest on Friday at Swansea Hospital on the body of Owen Davies (28), whose body was picked up in Brynmill Park on Thursday morning. Mrs. Willcams, deceased's landlady, said deceased was a coachman, and she last saw him at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday. He hil shortly before pa; fed witih his young lady who had gone back to Newpoit, and deceased was slightly depressed. He had a cold. Wm. Agg, park-keeper, deposed to finding deceased's body. There were no signs of a øt.roggle, and he produced a bottle (pro- duced) which had evidently contained sp-rir of some sort, floating in the water. Had de- ceaeed wished to do away with himself by drowning, he could have done so, because f the defective fencing on the Sketty-road -ide of the park. Witness made a practice of opening and shutting the park himself morn- ing ana evening. P.C. Parker said he was called t^ tna park, and saw the body, which he searched at the mortuary. He found gloves, key. pipe, and letters produced (one was to de ceased's mother containing his photon). A letter was also found from a friend at St Fagan's, Cardiff, which thrvw some i ght on deceased's habits. The letter implored deceased to "ktep off the booze." Wr;t<ing ;o has motiher, deceased said he was miserable, being out of work, and grumbling about Ahe weather. Dr. D. R. Edwards made a post-mortem on deceased, and found no signs of foul play whatever. There was a strong odour of al- cohol, and the stomach contained three-quar- ters of a pint of fluid, also smelliing strongly of alcohol. The muxous membrane of the stomach was not healthy, and was congested, parts were slate colour, showing gastric cat- arrh. The liver was normal, exceptang cer- tain congestion the kidneys inddcated fatty degenerat o:i. The right side of the heart was full of dark blood, indicating a narcotic death, possibly alcohol. There were no sym- toms of irritant pocsoning. The lungs showed pleuidsy and acute congestion in t.he right upper lobe. There was no indication of dis ease En the brain, but that wa., also congested. In his opinion deceased took an excess:ve quantity of alcohol, which with exposure, calused coma and his death. Ttfce Coroner said it was an exceptionally sad case. Deceased was evidently depressed, worried, and upset owing to various causes. His young llady had left Swansea, and this caused horn to over-drink himself. He had really committed moral suicude, and it was a lesson to all not to take to drink as a solace. It only showed how foo a young man could be. A verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned.
