SUDDEN DEATH ON A RAILWAY. – An elderly gentleman died suddenly, and under distressing circumstances, at the Corkickle Station of the Furness Railway, on Tuesday. It appears that MR. DAVID JACKSON, 77 years old, a retired farmer, who lived with his son at Park House, Cockermouth, had gone to Whitehaven and thence intended to proceed to Sellafield. He was walking to Bransty Station when he was overtaken by another gentleman, who hurried him on, telling him that if he did not make haste he would be too late. MR. JACKSON caught the train, but it was discovered, on the train emerging from the Corkickle tunnel that he was gasping for breath and his lips were covered with foam. On arriving at Corkickle Station, MR. JACKSON was at once removed from the train, and DR. DICKSON was summoned, but before he arrived, MR. JACKSON had expired. DR. DICKSON was of opinion that death resulted from the rupture of a blood vessel at the base of the brain. The jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes, and recommended that in future, carriages passing through the tunnel should be lighted.
