SUDDEN DEATH-On Saturday last, the 9th inst., an inquest was held at the Vestry Rushden, by Mr. J. T. Parker, on the body of Kitty Warren, the wife of Wm. Warren, who expired suddenly on the previous, day deceased was waiting for her husband's return from Wellingborough, and on seeing his cart coming into the village she left a neighbour to whom she was talking, and went indoors as though to get supper. Her husband, however, on his arrival found her dying in the closet. Some years ago deceased had a fall and fractured her hip, which compelled her to use a crutch.—William Warren deposed that the deceased was 67 years of age. She was in her usual health when he left home about eleven a.m. the previous morning. She was then alone in the house. When he returned home about 8.45 the next evening, he saw deceased standing with his daughter near the house. He afterwards heard a noise outhouse, and found deceased there with her head leaning against the wall, making a gurgling noise. He asked deceased what was the matter, but she did not speak. She died in about two minutes. Deceased had lately suffered from shortness of breath—Esther Garlick, wife of George Garlick, daughter of the deceased, gave corroborative evidence.—The evidence of Mr. C. R. Owen, surgeon, who examined the deceased, was to the effect that death resulted from disease of the heart, verdict to that effect was returned.

Inquest, 1883, June 9th, Rushden
An inquest was held at the Rushden Vestry Hall on Saturday, 9th June 1883, before J. T. Parker, Coroner, on view of the body of Kitty Warren, the wife of William Warren, a Rushdern carrier. She died suddenly on Friday 8th June 1883. The Rushden Census of 1881 tells us that the Warrens lived on the High Street, at the north end, not far from East Grove. Kitty really was her proper name. She had been born in 1817 at Wymington, the next Bedfordshire village to Rushden. William was 68.
William Warren: My wife, the deceased, was 67 years of age. She was in her usual health when I left home at about eleven, yesterday morning. She was alone in the house. When I got back home, about 8.45 that evening, I saw her standing with my daughter, near the house. Later, I heard a noise in an outhouse, and I found my wife with her head leaning against the wall. She was making a gurgling noise. I asked her what was the matter, but she did not speak. She died in about two minutes. Lately she has suffered from shortness of breath.
Esther Garlick, the wife of George Garlick, and daughter of the Warrens, corroborated her father's evidence.
Charles R. Owen, surgeon, Rushden: I have examined the body of the deceased. Deth resulted from disease of the heart.

The jury verdict was: "HEART DISEASE"
