                BROKEN BLOOD VESSEL KILLED S.S. KELLEY

     Man Who Was Struck By Automobile A Week Ago Found Dead In His Room

Becoming exhausted from the effects of a ruptured blood vessel in his abdomen, 
S.S. Kelley fell from a chair in which he was seated in a bedroom at his 
residence, 217 Holt Street, sometime during Sunday night, the exact hour not 
being known, and his body was found lifeless yesterday morning about 8 o'clock 
by members of his family. Last Saturday night a week ago Mr. Kelley was struck 
by an automobile.  It was not thought that he was even seriously injured in the 
accident and Dr. Kight, coroner, and Dr. Riddick, attending physician, have not 
yet determined whether or not the shock from the automobile coming in contact 
with the body of Mr. Kelley finally caused his death.
Mr. Kelley was downtown last on Saturday. Sunday he spent the day about the 
house reading. He retired to his room early Sunday night and this was the last 
time he was seen alive. No groans were heard from his room and presumably death 
was without a struggle.
The deceased is survived by three children -- S.W. Kelley and M.C. Kelley, sons 
who resided with him, and a daughter, Mrs. Laura F. Noble, of Washington. When 
seen at the family residence yesterday afternoon the sons said they had no doubt 
but that death was caused from a ruptured blood vessel. At that time the autopsy 
had not been completed by the Coroner and Dr. Riddick. The sons do not appear to 
think that the death of their father was even primarily caused from the 
automobile accident.
Mr. Kelley was 62 years of age and well known in Norfolk, where he has resided 
for years. At one time he was in the laundry and bill posting business, but for 
a long time past has been ticket taker at the Academy of Music. The deceased was 
well known in lodge circles, being a member of the Royal Arcanum, the Elks and 
Knights of Pythias.
Upon orders of Coroner Kight the body was removed to Oliver's undertaking 
establishment, where the autopsy was held. The funeral will take place tomorrow 
morning. The details have not yet been completed.
