The injured man rushed from the boiler room to summon aid but had proceeded but a few feet outside the door when he fell to the ground and expired.

Coroner Falge and Deputy Sheriff Arthur Engelbrecht visited the scene when reports reached the city of the tragedy but no inquest was deemed necessary.
