The Western Daily News 14/07/1943 reports:
"Exeter Inquest – Exeter City Coroner (Mr. W. Rackwood Cocks) returned a verdict of 'Death by misadventure' at the inquest of A.C.2 Alan Hardy, R.A.F, formerly of Alnwick, Northumberland, who died under an anaesthetic in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital on July 8. "There is not the slightest suggestion that the anaesthetic was wrongly or badly given," said Mr. Rackwood Cocks."
