Register Entry  A terribly sad accident occurred at the European General Hospital yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant DB Elphistone of the Royal Engineers was admitted into the hospital on Monday and was then suffering from a very severe attack of fever. He was placed in one of the wards on the top floor of the new building and everything that medical skill and good nursing could do for him was done but the fever still continued and at about one o'clock yesterday afternoon while he was apparently in a delirious state Lieutenant Elphinstone left his bed and wandered into the corridor outside the ward and before anybody was aware of his having left his bed he got to one of the windows and hurled himself from it on to the ground below, a distance of something like forty-five feet. Lieutenant Douglas Bonar Elphinstone who was quite a young officer he being at the time of his death only in his twenty second year received his commission on the 25th July 1890
