Hjorcdome Succumbs Following Amputation 01 Badly Crushed Limb Authorities Were Unable to Find Any Friends or Relatives Belonging to the Injured Man, His Name Being Ascertained From His Driver's License INQUEST WILL BE HELD No Charge Was Laid Against Allen, Driver of the Car Which the Motorcycle struck--He Will Be Re- quired to Give Evidence at Inquest Weakened from loss of blood and from shock, Robert Hjore- dome, formerly of Welland, died at the Oshawa General Hospital at eight o'clock last night as the aftermath of an accident which occurred on the Kingston high- way, two miles west of Whitoy, last Sunday afternoon when the motorcycle which he was riding crashed with a car driven by Ed- ward Allen, of 97 Birch Cliff Avenue, Toronto. Hjorcdome's leg was crushed between the motor« cycle and the bumper of the car. It had been practically severed by the accident and when the injured man was rushed to the Oshawa Hospital it was found necessary to amputate below the knee. Dr. R. F. MacLaren of Whitby, performed the operation assisted by Dr. C. F. McGillivray, Whitby, and Dr. H. M.. MacDonald, - Osh- awa, Dr. MacLaren stated yester« day that Hjorecdome's condition was critical although he showed a slight improvement yesterday morning. He gradually weakened however and in spite of the efforts of doctors and nurses his condition became worse and death occurred about eight o'clock. A sad feature of the tragedy fis the fact that the authorities were unable to locate any relatives or friends of the injured man. His name was ascertained by a driver's license which had been found in his pocket. : Chief H. Gunson of Whitby, was one of the first to arrive at Hjorecdome's side following the ace cident. The man was falling into unconsciousness but was able to tell the chief that he was on his way from Welland to Kingston where he planned 'to make hig home. This statement was con- firmed by the fact that a large quantity of clothing and luggage was found in the side-car of his motorcycle. Coroner Dr, D. S. Hoig stated to The Times today that an in« quest would be held into the death of Hjorcdome. A jury is being empanelled today but the date for the inquest has not yet been se:. The body was removed to Luke's Burial Parlors where it will be viewed by the coroner's jury, The authorities are still attempting to locate relatives or friends of the deceased and any :nformatién con- cerning him will be welcomed. The accident was investigated by Chief Gunson, of Whithy, and Provincial Highway Traffic Of- ficer S. A. Hilliard. Hjorcdome is said to have been travelling west when he got out of the line of' traffic. He was unable to get over on hig right side of the highway before colliding with Allen's car which was approaching in the op- posite direction. No charge was laid against Allen although "he will probably be asked to give evidence at the inquest. Traffic conditions on the high- way between Oshawa and Toronto are becoming more congested each year and Sunday's accident and resultant tragedy are blamed:by some upon the narrowness of this thoroughfare. . lin, Bowmanville, Friends were present from Black« water, Omemee, Fenelon Falls, Pet« erboro, Lindsay, Uxbridge, Port Per« ry, Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Grimsby, Hamilton and St. John, N.B.
