Supreme Court of Pennsylvania April 21, 1948, Appeal, 56 (McGarity v. New York Life Insurance)

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Horace Stern,

In this case the sole question — purely a factual one— is whether the death of William J. McGarity, Jr., resulted directly and independently of all other causes from bodily injury effected solely through external, violent and accidental cause, and not from physical or mental infirmity or directly or indirectly from illness or disease of any kind.
