While working at The Island, Lake Austin, the horse he was driving became unmanageable and kicked Rinaldi Loranzo in the stomach. The following day, two of his Italian mates engaged a horse and cart to bring him to the Cue Hospital. After getting a couple of miles along the road, Lorenzo died. For reasons unknown, the mates deposited the body into the scrub and proceeded to Cue where they gave information to the constable at Day Dawn.
When the event was reported to Mr Von Arnheim, J.P. he decided that the cause of death was purely accidental, so an inquest was not necessary.
