"Our Waipawa correspondent writing yesterday says:- The coroner has gone to Norsewood to hold an inquest on the body of Mrs Edward HANSEN, who died very suddently yesterday. It appears that deceased was confined a fortnight ago, and had partly recovered, and was about on Sunday, but felt a bit unwell. On Monday morning she was apparently all right, and was sitting up in bed, when she suddenly lay back and expired. There is at present nothing to indicate the cause of death. No doctor has been in attendance, but a Mrs SWAINSON acted as nurse."12Hawke's Bay Herald, Volume XXIX, Issue 9720, 30 June 1894, Page 2.
"An absurd report is in circulation that the body of Mrs HANSEN was still warm when the inquest was held, the fact being that she had been dead quite 31 hours. This incident recalls the death of Mrs JACOBSEN (the first wife of the murdered man of that name) at Norsewood. An inquest was held on the body, which had been found dead in the bush, and the coroner had returned to Waipawa some hours when he was startled by the receipt of a wire asking him to send a doctor, as it was believed that she was still alive; a doctor was sent, and he found the woman was dead enough, but notwithstanding his assurance the husband would not allow the body to be buried for some days, when decomposition had set in."13Personal Correspondence: Bob HANSEN (New Zealand), eMail, 19 Oct 2005.
