My great-grandfather, John Lynch, was a sewer worker in New York City. Tragically, he drowned in a sewer flood on August 26 in 1908. I obtained a copy of his death certificate from the NY Dept of Health in New York City. At the bottom, where it said cause of death was "submersion," it also said, "Inquest pending." I couldn't stay long enough at the Dept of Health to investigate this. Does anyone know how I can find results of the inquest? Should I go back to the Dept of Health, or look elsewhere? Thanks for any help. Clare Higgins
