An inquiry was held this afternoon touching the death of William Drayton Thrower, aged 80 years. Deceased was found dead on the floor of his photographic studio yesterday. He had complained of pains in his chest. Dr. Bennet, who made the post-mortem examination, deposed that death was due to hemorrhage caused by rupture of the aorta. A verdict was returned accordingly. Deceased had £20 in his possession. He formerly resided at Walhalla and Seymour. The deceased had no relatives in Victoria.
