Pat-

A few points.
1. A lot of people got run over by trolleys. It was almost a common event.
2. I cannot say if there were trolleys at Coney Island but see #3.
3. Coney Island Hospital is a very old hospital. It is not on Coney Island
though. It is on Ocean ave., north/notheast by Brighton Beach & Sheepshead
Bay. So maybe the accident wasn't in Coney Island per say. The Reception
Hospital may mean only that was the hospital that received his body or was
the E.R. Kings Co. Hospital is the largest of all the Brooklyn hospitals and
the main hospital. Probaby that was the only location for the coroner's
office.
4. What day of the week was it? Sunday-playing. Mon thru Sta - working.
