He mentioned th e matter to his employer, but both came to the conclusion that it must h ave been the water. At about 11.45 a.m. Keillywalked info the back roo m and there found, stretched out upon the floor, the dead body of the w oman, in an advanced state of decomposition. The Police were advised an d the body removed to the morgue, where a post mortem was held. The deceased was last seen alive on Saturday last.
