lonely spot in Warwick.

But Mr. William Charles Oliver Walwyn, of Southampton, had told a friend he was going to "do himself in.'' On Bermuda Day, Mr. Walwyn stopped his car at the Well Bottom Industrial Estate, attached a hose from the exhaust to the interior of his car and gassed himself with carbon monoxide fumes.

Coroner the Wor. Charles-Etta Simmons gave a verdict of death by carbon monoxide due to his own act of suicide on May 24.

On Monday morning May 24 Mr. Egert Sheppard went to inspect a building on the Well Bottom property.

"I heard an engine running when I got out of my car heading to the building.

When I went back to my car I heard the engine change in pitch,'' Mr. Sheppard said.

"Because I'm friendly I went to say hello to the person in the car and I noticed a green hose coming out of the back of the car which fell in line with the exhaust.'' He added: "I looked in the window and saw a gentleman's head slumped over to one side in the drivers seat. The engine was still running.

"I opened the door and turned the ignition off and I removed the man from the vehicle. There was no sign of life but his body was still warm to the touch. I attempted to resuscitate.

"All the windows and doors were closed and I did not see any note or message.'' In April, a good friend of Mr. Walwyn's Mr. Cyril J. Raynor saw him walking over Camp Hill in Southampton when he stopped to give him a lift.

"When we were driving, Charlie ran on saying he was fed up with this type of life and that he was going to do himself in,'' Mr. Raynor said.

"He had been drinking and he sounded depressed. When he wasn't drinking he was a kind and gentle man.'' Mr. Walwyn's wife Rosetta said she found out about her husband's death at noon time after she had gone to the Bermuda Day parade.

"He gave no indication of what he was going to do,'' Mrs. Walwyn said.

In an autopsy report prepared by government analyst Dr. Alan Young said there was no evidence of any natural diseases and that death was not due to natural causes but carbon monoxide.

Pathologist Dr. John Winwick said that fatal carbon monoxide poisoning is usually associated with levels of saturation in access of 40 percent. Mr.

Walwyn had 76 percent of carbon monoxide in his blood.

THEFT FROM CAR CRM Theft from car Motorists are being reminded not to leave valuables unattended in an unlocked vehicle.
