“Find Prisoner Died Of Heart Failure,” Kingston Whig-Standard. May 30, 1932. Page 2.
----
A coroner’s jury on Saturday afternoon at the Kingston Penitentiary found that William Hanley, an inmate who died on Friday right, had come to his death through heart failure after a long illness and that everything possible had been done for him by the prison doctor and other medical men called into consultation.
Inspector G. Smith, acting warden, and Dr. Garfield Platt, prison doctor, were the only witnesses heard. Inspector Smith gave the record of the dead inmate, showing that he had been sentenced from Hamilton to five years in the penitentiary and was in poor health when he came here. He was admitted to the penitentiary in January 1931 and had been a bed patient in the Institution practically ever since that time. In February his condition was very grave and in May it grew worse again. Hanley was unable to rally from his condition and passed away early Friday night.
Dr. Garfield Platt in his evidence described the heart condition of the deceased inmate, giving practically the same evidence as the inspector. He told of having two outside doctors see Hanley and stated that everything that could be done had been done for Hanley but to no avail.
The jury was but a few minutes in reaching its verdict. The inquest was presided over by Dr. S. J. Keyes, coroner, and T. J. Rigney, Crown Attorney, was present at the inquest. The jury was as follows: C. A. Devlin, foreman; James Laturney, Charles Clarke, S. McCullough, W. J. Christmas, E. Goodwin, and F. J. Leatherland.
