Biographical Notes:

"A verdict of death from a gunshot wound, self-inflicted, was the finding of the coroner, Mr. J. T. B. Taaffe, J.P., at the adjourned inquest into the death of Ronald Anthony Mulcock, aged 21, of Hamilton, a member of the Aerodrome Defence Unit, at an aerodrome on September 2.

The guards on duty with Mulcock said that, as far as "they knew, he was not depressed, and he had been eligible for transfer."

The medical evidence showed that it was possible, but highly improbable, that death was accidental."
