Particulars of Dr. Tyler's Death

A Fort Plain correspondent gives the following particulars relative to the death of Dr. Tyler of Rome [Oneida Co. NY].

Dr. Tyler was here to visit a sick lady, residing about 5 miles out of town.  He was brought to the village in a carriage to take the train due here at 11:30 p.m. for Albany.  He was left in the village preferring to walk to the depot - a few minutes past 11 o'clock, and with his medicine he started to walk there.  The night was dark.  A stranger here came from said train, and on his way to the village heard cries from a voice, "help, help."  Having some misgivings about the cry and some fear, the stranger came to the village and secured a man with a light and returned to the place where they found the Doctor lying on the walk, asking help, yet not conscious enough to describe his situation or difficulty.  They raised him against the wall in a sitting posture and returned for a third man to help carry him to the public house.  That done he was placed in a stable upon some straw and covered with a buffalo robe.  Between 7 and 8 o'clock next morning, he was examined and found dead, though yet slightly warm.  On careful examination of the body by medical men, with reference to testimony at the coroner's inquest, three slight bruises of the skin were found, one on the left ear, another opposite on the left cheek bone and another above the right eye.  No other part of the body exhibited any sign of bruise, hurt or injury.  His clothing seemed perfect. A wallet in his pocket contained about $20.  His medicine box was missing and gave rise to a suspicion of robbery.  It was found, however, early in the morning by workmen passing there, on the wall near where the Doctor was discovered.

The wounds were carefully examined and found to be only abrasions of the skin, such as would readily occur in a fall, or in lying and rolling against a stone or gravel, or any other hard substance.

Dr. Tyler, it is clear, therefore, was not murdered, nor was he robbed. The question arises, what was the cause of his death?  From the time he left the carriage to the time he was found, about 15 or 20 minutes, the time he was lying upon the ground, was nearly an hour.

His friends stated that he was in feeble health, had only partially recovered from an injury received several months ago.

The examination of the body was sufficient to prove that death was not produced by external injury.  A careful dissection of the brain, heart and spinal column was not made, on account of the earnest appeal against it by his friends.  Death evidently resulted from one of two causes - either from paralysis of the limbs, extending rapidly and involving the whole nervous system and brain or from fatty degeneration of the heart.  In either case it was most unfortunate that he should have lain upon the cold ground, nearly an hour, and then be placed in a cold stable. Warmth, cordials, and stimulants were desirable and might have done much to restore him. Attending the case of this stranger, Dr. Tyler, there was a thoughtless and inexcusable mistake, although not intentional and none deplore it more than the great mass of our own citizens.
