Whilst walking in the fields near Castlethorpe on Saturday last, Mr. H. J. Gray and Mr. J. Cannon, both residents in the village, noticed a body of a man lying in the river Tove. When brought to the bank the body was in an advanced stage of decomposition and had apparently been in the water for some time. As deceased was still wearing his hat and eye-glasses the tragedy of his death pointed rather to accident than suicide. Later the body was identified as that of William Storey, an employee of the firm of Messrs. Waring and Gillow, London, who on the 15th November last, came to Wolverton to reside with his sister, Mrs. McMillan, for the benefit of his health. He was suffering from nervous breakdown, but not sufficiently ill to have to keep his bed. On November 20 deceased complained to his sister of having had a bad night, and after breakfast said he would go for a stroll. From that time he was never seen alive. At the inquest, held by Mr. R. G. Walton, the district coroner, on Monday evening evidence was given by Mr. and Mrs. McMillan (the latter saying she had never heard her brother threaten to take his life), by the men who found the body, and by P.C. Bonner and Dr. F. Hinde. The Coroner entered a verdict of “ Found drowned.”
