| Death | 13 February 1909 A SAD CASE OF SUICIDE. On Saturday last a young man named Colin Oakley committed suicide in a most determined manner at Uarbry. From the fullest inquiries subsequently made with regard to his tragic end, there can be no doubt that the poor young fellow, who was a member of a most respected family, was suffering with mental aberration shortly before and at the time he committed the rash act. It appears that on Saturday morning he made many vain attempts to purchase firearms from several persons. From the keenness of his desire to do so it has since been considered that he then had only one purpose in view, viz., to terminate his life with a bullet. Failing to effect a purchase he secured a razor, and betaking himself to an old house he inflicted an awful gash in his throat, the wound extending from ear to ear. When discovered he was in his death throes, but he managed to express a last wish that he should be allowed to die when efforts were being made to staunch the wound from which the blood was flowing as from a fountain. He expired in about 20 minutes from the time he inflicted the gash, but gave no reason for doing so. The deceased was a quiet, decent young fellow, a native of Cooyal, where his parents had resided for many years. Subsequently they removed to Linburn, and with them the young man generally made his home. Much sympathy is expressed with the family upon whose home the sombre cloud of sorrow has now settled. A magisterial inquiry was conducted by Mr. S. J. Scully, and a verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane was recorded. The remains were interred at Linburn on Monday last, Archdeacon Geer officiating at the graveside. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 18 February 1909, p. 15. Colin Oakley Suicide |
