An inquest was also held concerning the death of Mr. Bert Bartholomew Kaveney, a single man, aged 39, who was found dead in bed at his sister's residence, 9, Broadway, Newmarket. Evidence was given to the effect that the deceased said he felt unwell on Monday evening. The next day he said he felt better, and would not allow a doctor to be called. A little later his sister went into his room and found him dead. Dr. L. J. Thompson said death was due to haemoptysis, following heart failure, and a finding was returned in accordance with this evidence.[3]
