"CHURCH GRESLEY SUICIDE "A verdict of 'Suicide
while the blance of his mind was disturbed' was recorded by the Coroner
(Mr. T. H. Bishop) at the Church Gresley inquest last night on George
Harrison (46), licensee of the Rising Sun Inn, Church-street, Church
Gresley. George Harrison, jnr., said that his father had been ill for
several weeks, and for two days was confined to his bed. "On Sunday
afternoon he saw him walking about in the passage downstairs, and about an
hour later, hearing groans, he went upstairs to the bathroom, where he
found his father on the floor bleeding badly from an extensive throat
wound. He had not heard his father threaten to take his life. Dr.
J. Camac, of Church Gresley, said that Mr. Harrison was lying in a pool of
blood. The throat wound was six inches long and extended to the spine.
Death occurred within seven minutes and efforts at artificial respiration
were of no avail. Dr. Camac added that he had been treating Harrison
for insomnia and latterly for influenza. He agreed with the Coroner that
such cases frequently led to depression. On the previous Wednesday Mr.
Harrison had appeared quite cheerful, the doctor said.
"Police-constable Ayre stated that he found a razor in the wash basin."
