In 1903, the news covered the gruesome death of 38-year-old surveyor Harry Caldwell, who blew himself up while fishing with dynamite in Esquimalt waters.
The unusual circumstances of Caldwell’s death led to a coroner’s inquest to determine whether the death was an accident or suicide.
Henry Caldwell is buried at Ross Bay Cemetery.
