SHOOTING TRAGEDY
CORONER'S COMMENT AT MODBURY INQUEST.
A shooting fatality occurred near Modbury on Wednesday, when Leonard George Fox of Modbury, employed by a local baker as a motor vanman, died as the result of injuries sustained through the accidental discharge of a double-barrelled gun.
Fox, who was accompanied by a lad named Broad, was proceeding along a road near Modbury when he saw a bird in a hedge, and having the gun loaded in the van, and thinking that he could have a shot at the bird, the car was stopped while Fox got out. The gun exploded and Fox was shot in the head.
At the inquest yesterday the Coroner said the tragedy was accidental. He added that greater care should be exercised with guns. If Fox had removed the cartridges when he put the gun in the van the accident would not have happened. He also advised the removal of cartridges when getting over hedges and gates.
