As reported in the 'Evening Chronicle' Thursday 16th March 1945:

Death during Blyth operation

The death from heart failure, due to the effects of anaesthetic; properly administered, while he was undergoing a surgical operation at Blyth Knight Memorial Hospital, was the verdict at an inquest today on James Albert Hopkins (49), engineer, 41 Hunter Avenue, Blyth.

Dr Phyllis Mary Hanson said no evidence of heart weakness was revealed by the examination which preceded the operation and heart failure occurred suddenly when the operation was practically completed.



I couldn't find anything else for the other 2 names you gave on Findmypast newspaper archives.
