A newspaper report is normally a much better bet, since actual
coroners' papers are often missing or when found, brief and unhelpful.
However, in WW2, what would normallyt have been an important incident
faded to obscuity against what Hitler was chucking at us nightly. And
the papers were cut down in size, so there may only be a short para.
