An outside the box possibility for Dearly Departed Florence.

Since there was nationwide interest in her untimely demise maybe someone thought more investigation was required and she was sent to Dunedin for further investigation and research at Otago Medical School.

Archway has a letter recorded:
Inwards letters and registered files [record group]
From: Coroner, Hawera Date: 22 March 1886 Subject: Inquest proceedings on Florence Evangeline Mumby    1886    Justice Department [record group]    Wgtn
