WRITINGS | CORONER REPORT ON CONSTABLE LONIGAN

Coroner's Report -- Const. Lonigan

"Samuel Reynolds, on his oath said:-- I am a legally qualified medical practictioner, residing at Mansfield. Having examined the body of a man that I am told was Lonigan; found wounds on the left arm, which I have no doubt were caused by bullets, one of which had passed through the arm; one wound on the outside of the left thigh; one on the right temple; and one on the inner side of the right eyeball. The bullet which entered on the outside of the thigh passed along under the skin and lodged on the inside of the thigh; the bullet which entered by the side of the eyeball passed through the bone of the orbit and drove portions of it into the brain. Death must have been instantaneous from injuries to the brain. "
