arrival found the child dead. He called Dr. BrickeIl
to his aid and together they removed the dead body
with instruments; that being absolutely necessary
They found death to have resulted from hemorrhage
and suFocation, caused by disruption ofth umbiical
cord They could not say whether the previous ply
