Sir Donald Macleod, C.B., K.C.S.I., died today by a shocking accident. At half-past six o'clock he was at the Gloucester road station of the Metropolitan Railway, and in endeavouring to enter the train while in motion, he fell beneath it and the platform. Both legs and the left arm were almost completely severed from the body. Sir Donald was at once taken to St. George's Hospital, where he received surgical attendance; but the unfortunate gentleman was so severely injured that no hopes of recovery were entertained from the first. Although unconscious when admitted, Sir Donald became perfectly sensible before his death, which took place at about ten o'clock.
