A Mysterious Death. Coroner Ruiz is investigating the cause of the death of an old man Jose Valdez, who died last night. It was reported that a horse kicked him on the head, but the wound seems to have been inflicted by a sharp instrument. He was found over a week ago and has been unconscious ever since. (The Independent [Santa Barbara, CA], 16 Nov 1895, 1:4]
DEATH OF JOSE VALDEZ. The Coroner’s Investigation Disproves the Theory of Font Play. The coroner’s investigation into the cause of the death of Jose Valdez has resulted in the conclusion that the wound upon the head was caused by a horse’s kick, and that foul play was not probable. The family objected to an autopsy, though the physicians declined to issue a death certificate' stating the direct cause of death. The accident occurred some days ago; Valdez was at work near Gerard Grands place, in the country; he had taken a horse to the creek for water, and about half an hour later a man named Garcia met him a short distance from the place. Garcia noticed the wound upon his head and asked him what caused it; Valdez was conscious, but stupefied, and said that a horse had kicked him. He had dropped the lead rope and in leaning over near the horse’s heels to pick it up, received a bad blow. The physician attending him sewed up the scalp wound, but Valdez remained in a stupor and a surgeon was called. It was found that there had been a fracture of the skull, and that a piece of the bone was pressing upon the brain. An operation was necessary, but the delay had been too long, and Valdez never recovered. The peculiar wound led attending physicians to suspect that something beside a horse’s kick was the cause, consequently the coroner was asked to investigate.
