Hi
From the Shields daily newspaper 20/10/1883

Fireman John Clegg died suddenly whilst the vessel was at Copenhagen, deceased belonged to Preston, Manchester.

Would that suggest natural causes?

I don't know, but it sounds like he did die of natural causes from that. I always assume that a sudden death has something to do with things like heart attacks/disease.

Hi,

That was my thoughts, would have thought the report would have mentioned an accident if there had been one or anything other than natural causes.
