Doctor Says

Dead Mother

Not Beaten

NEW YORK (AP) —
The stroke that killed
Rosemarie Maniscalco
and her unborn baby girl
was caused by a blood
vessel that was faulty all
her life and not by
beatings, the Brooklyn
medical examiner said

Wednesday. ;
Dr, Milton Wald said
"no evidence of

criminality’ was found
during the autopsy on the
27-year-old mother. If a
beating had caused her
fatal coma, doctors would
have found evidence of it,
he added.
The Brooklyn district
attorney’s office had been
questioning relatives and
acquaufwnces of Mrs.
Maniscaleo because of

Dead Child Worst Case of Bruising I Ever Saw

VANCOUVER (CP) —
A verdict of homicide was
returned Wednesday by a
coroner's jury __in-
vestigating the death of a
22-month-old child who a
month earlier had
displayed what a veteran
physician called the
worst case of bruising he
had ever-seen.

The jury, looking into
the death Nov. 23 of Jason
Alfred Loverock in an
East End Vancouver
apartment, also decided
that on the evidence,
which was chiefly
medical, further investi-

ation of the case is
justified.

Nine defence witnesses
testified that the mother,
Katherine Loverock 18,
was a gentle and loving
parent and that both her
current boyfriend and the

child’s natural father had
treated Jason kindly.

But Dr. Kurt Gott-
schling of Burnaby, B.C.,
who delivered Jason and
who for 14 years was Miss
Loverock’s physician,
told of examining the
child Oct. 18 when he was
brought innby his mother
for treatment of an upper
respiratory infection.

“IT noted extreme
bruising of the arms,
trunk and face,’’ Dr.
Gottschling said. ‘I
asked the mother how
this had happened. She
said that Jason seemed to
be bruising very easily
and she was concerned
about it. She solemnly
denied having lid a hand
on the child.”

this

“Sad to say,

bruising was the worst I
have ever seen in my

entire practice.”
TRUSTED MOTHER
The doctor added that
he trusted Miss Loverock
because he had known
and attended to her
medical needs since she
was four and “I always
found her to be a nice, co-
operative person, always
with a cheerful smile.”
Pathologist Dr. R. 0.
Brammall said cause of
death was rupture of the
small bowel, leading to
peritonitis, and the
rupture of the organ
likely was caused by
some significant force or
blow to the abdomen.
Under questioning, Dr.
Brammal said that
“many children fall
about and get some
bruises and most have a
few at any given time;
but I believe he had -an

FALL UNLIKELY

The child's father,
William Breeze; Miss
Loverock’s fiance, Curtis
Lazarowich; and several
others testified that
Jason had been a clim-
bing child and that he
frequently fell from

rumors that she had been
beaten.

Mrs, Maniscalco, 27,
died Tuesday “‘of what
the public considers a
stroke,” Wd said. But he
described it as a “‘spon-

losive,
hemorrhage which de-
stroyed the left side of her
brain.”

He said Mrs.
Manisealco had a leak

that “was there since she

doesn’t kick off until 20 or

He said it would have
