22 November 1913 (Saturday) - Grantham Journal - Grantham, Lincolnshire, England

Dismissed Workman's Suicide.
An inquest Monday on a Lincoln fitter, Jim Woodhead (64), whose dead body was found in the grounds of Lincoln Workhouse, disclosed the fact that he was dismissed by his employers after 43 years service. He was admitted to the Workhouse Infirmary on Saturday night suffering from influenza and mental depression. During the evening he was missed, and on looking out of an open window, a nurse saw him lying dead on the ground below. The jury found that deceased threw himself from the window during temporary insanity.
