FEAR OF DEATH
 BURSTS HEART
 OF LITTLE GILL D

Death due to bursting heart from frtgIt is the diagnosis of the med Ical examiner and belief of Coroner John l. Phe1an after conducting both autopsy and inquiry into the death of George Darling. an eight-year-eld boy of Danbury who died April T.
 In the finding filed today death in ascribed to accident and Robert Riley is commended for his prudent and careful driving and as doIng his best to avoid the accident.
 The report of Medical Examiner stratton discIoses the fact that al- though there was apparently no ex- ternaI evidence of the child having been injured. the heart, spleen. kid- neys and lungs were ruDtured. The only inference that, medical men can draw from such indications is that the heart was df1ated to such an extent through fright at the approaching danger that the walls literally burst asunder. Such instances. though upon record, are extremely rare.
