The Halifax Daily Guardian [3rd April 1916] reported his death
A Harrogate Jury on Saturday [1st April 1916] returned a verdict of "Found drowned" at an inquest on Miss Emily Simpson, aged 49, daughter of the late Thomas Simpson, of Halifax, whose body was recovered from the Oakbeck at Harrogate the previous day.The evidence showed that Miss Simpson had made her home in France for some years past, but had come to England at the beginning of the war, and had been depressed because she had been unable to get back to her home in France.
The Coroner said that the idea was prevalent among the general public that they should not touch a body until it had been first seen by the police, but that idea was wrong. It should be as widely known as possible that if people found a body when there was the slightest possibility of a person being alive, it was their duty to cut it down if hanging, or taken it out of the water, if it was a case of drowning
