Austin Ernest Wright

Cause of death: Acute alcoholism and concussion/fell on footpath and hit his head. It appears that the deceased was found by his wife at 11:30PM on 22/2/69, lying on his back on the concrete footpath at the side of the house at 2 Bruce Street, Newport. His head was leaning against the brick wall of the house. He had apparently slipped on the wet concrete footpath and hit his head against a brick wall, though it is also possible that he had a stroke and then fell.
