THE post-mortem of 71-year-old Edward Ashby of Lot 53 Third Street, Industry, ECD, who was fatally struck down at Ogle last Saturday evening, was performed yesterday.

Results of that procedure revealed that Ashby succumbed from a fractured skull, and had also suffered a broken leg, a broken arm, and three broken ribs.
Janet Ashby, daughter of the deceased, stated that the man’s funeral will be held on Thursday. She lamented that her father had been a good man, and it was quite unfair for him to have met his demise in such a manner.
The woman said that on the night in question, when she visited the spot where the accident had occurred, she could still see on the road her father’s blood and bits of what appeared to be brain matter.
She stated that her father had been barely recognizable at the hospital because his head had been smashed.
Edward Ashby was struck down on the Ogle Public Road last Saturday evening, reportedly by two vehicles. An eyewitness claimed that Ashby was first struck by a speeding blue car, and then had been run over by another car while he was still on the road.
Picked up by persons and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival there.
One of the drivers suspected to have been involved in Ashby’s demise is presently in police custody.
