Miner in the Hape called the Summer Hill claim.
Cause of death: Fatty degeneration of the Heart. Old standing bronchitis.
New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs, BDM, citing Death Certificate 1900/3584 Fogarty, Thomas age 78Y
"Two sudden deaths occurred here to-day, both victims being old residents........The other death was that of a very well known prospector in the Hape Creek district, Mr. Thomas Fogarty, aged 78 years. This morning, shortly after ten o'clock, he proceeded to Mr. Hall's chemist shop, and asked for some cough medicine. Whilst Mr. Hall was procuring the same, Fogarty sat down on a chair, and appeared to go off to sleep almost immediately. Thinking the old man was tired, Mr. Hall went on getting the medicine, and when it was ready, he spoke to deceased, and handed him the medicine, but as he did not respond, Mr. Hall went to him and tried to arouse Lim. . Finding he was in a bad way, Mr. Hall used restoratives to him, but without effect, and Mr. Hall then came to the conclusion that death had occurred. The police were immediately communicated with, and Dr. Lapraik sent for, but when the latter gentleman appeared a few minutes later, he could only pronounce life extinct. An inquest was held this afternoon by Mr. Albert Bruce, coroner, when Dr. Lapraik, who had in the meantime made a postmortem examination, deposed that death was due from fatty degeneration of the heart. A verdict to this effect was returned by the jury. Deceased was a widower, and an old age pensioner. Since the death of his wife, some six years ago, be had lived alone."
