South Africa / Re: Is there a way to find out the circumstances surrounding a death by gunshot?

Thank you I have the form as per my original post and the death notice but none of these provide an explanation of the circumstances of the fatal gunshot, which is what I was hoping to establish.

South Africa / Is there a way to find out the circumstances surrounding a death by gunshot?
« on: Monday 18 May 20 15:06 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I have a Form of Information of Death for a relative George Hall McCall, which has his cause of death entered as 'Hemorrhage following a gunshot wound which had penetrated the heart and left lung'
As George's date of death is 19th August 1944 and he was 39 years old, I thought maybe WW2 related, but his place of death was Gurungwe Farm, Sipolilo, Rhodesia (his residence and he was a farmer).
Is there any way (I am based in the UK) of being able to find out the circumstances of his death, i.e. robbery, accident etc.
I was thinking a newspaper report would be a good possibility but turning up blanks at present, any assistance gratefully received.
Thank you.

I have typed the record up in word, with the details I could read (some I got horribly wrong!) and with your new and correct info, I have also expanded abbreviations in some places to make it abit clearer to make sense of.
I have added down the side the line number, at your convenience and if ok with you, please could you check this looks as complete/correct as possible now, I appreciate the original form is completely impossible to read in some places, so won't complete it fully.
Cheers
Tom
