Having defied death a hundred times he at last owed his end to a piece of orange peel. Mr. Leach had just concluded a lecturing tour in New Zealand and was strolling along the pavement close to his flat in Princes Street when he slipped on the orange peel and broke his leg. That was on February 26, since when he had been an invalid. (...) Complications set in and on Monday the leg was amputated, but the patient rapidly weakend and died.
