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.
