Sat 20 Dec 1919
Burnt to Death. On Friday morning Mr. H. Richardson Clark, Parramatta Coroner, held an en- quiry touching the death of Mrs. Edith Marian Overman, who had succumbed on December 16 at Parramatta Hospital to the results of injuries, through burning, sustained on November 26. Frederick Merrill, a butcher, residing at Myall-street, Merrylands, deposed that he knew the deceased, who lived next door to his place. On November 26, at 7.30 a.m., he was in his shop, and he heard screams. He went to his house and his wife told him that Mrs. Overman was seriously burnt. Tried to get an ambu- lance (at his wife's request). Only man- aged to get a taxi-cab, and that after a delay of about 20 minutes. When he went to the deceased her clothing was still smouldering. She was conscious ; but did not speak. Mr. and Mrs. Death and witness rendered first aid to the sufferer, and witness assisted to get her into the taxi-cab. Her son went with his mother to the hospital. Mrs. Death gave evidence that she looked out of her window about half-past 7 a.m. on November 26. Saw Mrs. Over- man in her yard with her hands up. Her clothing from the waist up was burning. Mr. Death and witness got a rug and put out the flames. Witness poured oil on the deceased's burns ; and afterwards she was sent away in a taxi-cab. Saw her at the hospital later on ; but she did not ex- plain how the accident had occurred. She thanked witness for what the latter had done for her. Dr. E. C. Hall deposed that at Parra- matta Hospital he attended Edith Marian Overman on November 26, who was suf- fering from deep and extensive burns on face, neck, shoulders, and limbs. She was suffering very severely from shock. The burns became in a very sloughy and septic condition in the next few days, and her condition steadily grew worse. She died on the 16th December. The cause of death he would describe as the effects of the burns. In the first days after her admission the patient was suffering from shock, and during the latter part of her time in the hospital she was delirious. Chas. Herbert Overman deposed that he lived at Myall-street, Merrylands, with his father. He was in bed between 7.30 and 7.45 a.m. on the 26th of November. Heard his mother screaming, and ran out into the yard. Fancied that his mother had started to light the fire. Did not see the occurrence. Sergt. Shedden stated that to no one had the deceased explained how the acci- dent had occurred. The only thing she had said was (to her husband). "Only for those Japanese matches I wouldn't have been here." So it was surmised that the deceased must have been lighting the fire. The witness (Chas. Overman) stated that his sister (aged 11 years) was in bed at the time. To Sergt. Shedden : The deceased, when being put into the taxi-cab, seemed to wish to have the little girl prevented from seeing her. The husband, Arthur J. Overman, watchmaker, deposed that the deceased was a native of Victoria, having been born near Bendigo, and was 54 years of age. She had left four children. Witness and the deceased lived very happily to- gether. At 7 a.m. witness and she had breakfast together. She lit the fire in the kitchen to get the breakfast. Left home to go to work. There were then in the house the last witness and witness' girl, Lina (aged 11). Next saw his wife in the hospital the same day. Saw his wife continuously during her illness. She died on Tuesday, December 16. Asked her how the accident happened several times ; but she only shook her head. On the 11th she said " Only for those unfortunate Japanese matches I wouldn't be here." She always complained of having to re- start the fire for the others' breakfasts, and she used kerosene. His theory was that she poured oil on the top of the stove and then lighted it from the front. Was quite satisfied that the casualty had re- sulted through an accident. After the accident experimented with the hot stove and found that if oil was poured as he said on top and a match applied a kero- sene flame would blow out. The Coroner found a verdict of death through the results of an accident in the home at Merrylands on November 26. |
