News article: "Strange Suicide"
BEECHWORTH, Saturday, 17 October 1903
An extraordinary suicide occurred here on Monday night, the victim being Mrs. Mary Ann Kennedy, aged 44, the mother of a family of eight, who lived in Ker- ferd St. with her husband, a painter. At the inquest David Kennedy, Junr, said his wife went to bed at 11 .p.m., when she was in good health, and did not com- plain of anything. He woke at 3 a.m. and missed his wife, and on looking for her found her lying in the backyard. He called his two daughters, who helped to carry her in. He did not know she was dead until Dr. Skinner told him so; he had not thought that the wound in her throat was fatal. The knife which in- flicted the wound was lying near the body and was a carver given to deceased by her father. Deceased and he lived hap- pily together, and there was no reason for her to commit suicide. There was nothing peculiar about her mental con- dition. Two of deceased's daughters cor- roborated their father's' evidence, but stated that their mother had had head aches at times. The Coroner said it was the most inex- plicable case which had come under his notice. He found that death resulted from a knife-wound in the throat, self- inflicted while in a state of temporary insanity.
