DETERMINED SUICIDE AT TAUNTON.
Yesterday morning the dead body of William PRING, 59, an army pensioner, was found hanging by a rope from the bannister at the top of the stairs in the deceased's house in Pig Market, Taunton. PRING lost his wife about six weeks ago, and since then he has been very strange in his manner and at times despondent. A neighbour noticed the key in the outside of his door yesterday morning about half-past nine, and on going upstairs to find the deceased she discovered him hanging from the bannister. The body is supposed to have been hanging about nine hours before it was found.
