Steel Sheets Not Cause Of Death, Report-Physicians Hold Autopsy After Railway
Shop Fatality-Wm. D. Southwick-“Death was natural”
William D. Southwick,
60, Southern Pacific boilermaker, died of natural causes and was not killed by
1,500 pounds of steel sheets which forced his body against a shop building wall
between two beams, his physician, Dr. J.R. Morrell, said today following an
autopsy Wednesday afternoon.
EIGHT-INCH SPACE
“His death could not
possibly have been due to crushing because there was more than eight inches
space between the edge of the wall beams, against which the steel was leaning,
and the wall itself. The steel held his body upright but did not injure it,”
said Morrell.
Southwick’s lifeless body was discovered by a fellow workman
Wednesday at nine-thirty a.m. shortly after he had gone into a shed to get a
piece of sheet steel. It was at first reported the steel had fallen and crushed
him to death.
BRUISE ON HEAD
“The autopsy, performed by Dr. G.W.
Schelm, Dee hospital pathologist, failed to show even a bruise on the front of
his body, his arms or legs,” said Morrell. “A slight bruise on the back of the
head, received when it came in contact with a cross beam, it had failed even to
break the skin. There was also a small bruise on the right side of his back.”
Morrell said he has treated Southwick for several years for kidney and heart
ailments, and that his physical condition was such that it could “easily have
resulted in sudden death.”
