The inquest,w'a,s-tnlo'k'ing^•i�nt�ta� the death on January 17 to the Clinton-;arenaof Phillip Charles Evans of Goderich,who died shortly after being bit' in -- the chest by a., hockey' puck, while he was' playing hockey. ° The five • man coroners 'jury, • all Clinton men, found that the death was purely acc 'dental and no one could be. held in blame. They also recontmen-. ded that more money,be poured into research intojetter hockey equipment that would prevent such accidents in the future. Earlier in the, inquest," Dr. Lok "':,Mek, a pathologist- at ..Stratford Genera:l--•Hos'pit-al, testified that Mir. Evans died when the Boy's heart was smothered in its own blood' and couldn't beat any more. Dr. •Mek ----'said that blood was escaping •:thruugh a tiny punc- ture in the heart 'and. was trap- ped in a sack that- surrounds the heart. He said that this blood. c aduall` filled up the- sack, graciyually~strangling the heart, con ict crtntttru-ed- from page 1. her 10, 1973.
