Shock Fatal To Youth

The City Coroner, Mr. A. N. Bott, said yesterday that 15- year-old Harold Brodie, who was electrocuted on April 9 while using an electric lawn mower, had had blackouts and fainting fits and a slight shock

would be fatal.

He found that Brodie, of Tor- rington Road, Maroubra, was accidentally killed when he tried to free a live flexible power lead which had become jammed and cut in the blades of a converted

electric mower.

Mr. Bott said the parents had been prompt in going to the boy's

assistance.

There was no suggestion of blame to Miss Margaret Gibbons, the owner of the machine, or to the makers.
