John Aprice

Inquest, 4th February 1892

DESBOROUGH

INQUEST.—Mr. J. T. Parker held an inquest at the Angel Inn, on Thursday evening on the body of John Aprice, a carter, aged 53, who died suddenly the previous afternoon. The circumstances attending the death occasioned considerable excitement in the place. Aprice was engaged loading coal at the station, and about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon was found lying in his cart quite dead. It appeared that some time ago he suffered from rheumatic fever, which left behind it heart disease, and this was the cause of death. A verdict in accordance with this was returned.
