as
a

of
Ills
Illness
of
the
winter
of
1028-29,
succumbed
to
an
attack
of
bronchial

attended
by
cardiac
weakness.
The
stout
heart,
which
had
withstood
great
strain
In
the
previoilsMllncss,
could
function
no
longer.
The
Queen
and
all
the
members
of
the
Royal

except
the
Duke
of
Gloucester
were
at
San-
dringham
at
the

It
had
been
conceded
earlier
In
the
day
that
the
King's
life
was
ebbing
away.
His
last
Illness
had
commenced
on
Friday.
It
was
that
afternoon
that
the
public
learned
the
monarch
was
confined
to
his
room
with
a
cold.
A
bulletin
Issued
that
night
disclosed
that
he
had
suffered
an
attack
of
bronchial
catarrh,
accompanied
by
heart
weakness.
His
strength
slowly
ebbed
and
his
heart
action
slowed
down.
He
died
peacefully
and
without
pain.
King

It
was
disclosed,

In

of
a
privy
council
to
sign
a

creating
a

to
which
were
transferred
his

and
du

This
was
his
last
official
act,
It
was
learned
from
an
authoritative
source
that
the

was
unconscious
Just
before
the

came
The

died
almost
at

also
as

a
quarter
of

The

occurred
thirty

years
almost
to
a

after
that
