Jack Titus

[the ranger]

Reading about him on wikipedia, it says this about his death:

"He died in 1978 after intervening in an altercation at his pub the Limerick Castle in North Melbourne."

I don't remember hearing this story before. He was 70 when he died. Does anyone know the details?

I just had a pretty thorough search for info but surprising came out with nothing.

Wikipedia has the most information about his death and thats not real in depth.

All I can find on Jack Titus' death is this newspaper article by The Age.
