No, not something HE found in the wallet...

Something that was in the wallet when he returned it to its rightful owner?

OK, help is needed here.

He never managed to return the wallet - he never got that far.

Giving clues now...

1) Not in an accident - but he WAS in need of medical help as a result of what happened to him

2) Oh yes!

3) Found something in the wallet relating to health... but NOT a problem...

4) It wasn't what he was given, it was something he WASN'T given...

5) Not sure, but we'll say yes  :D

In the wallet was the original owners Blood Donor

card.

Fred got flattened after picking up the wallet and rushed

to the Hossy for a Blood tran.

Thinking that the wallet was Freds they topped him up with the wrong stuff and Fred snuffed out.

Elementary my dear Chap.

;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)

Sadly, that was already guessed and rejected (see previous), so not quite so elementary!

Fred was a diabetic, he collapsed and needed insuline but something in the wallet suggested otherwise and he died.

His widow then sued the wallet owner for loosing the wallet which Fred would otherwise not have found, and leaving the information which led to him having no treatment.

Thousands would die as a result of Freds death, as he was on the verge of a break through in medical reserch and a cure for all cancers and old age.... and all because some carless b******ds cannot look after his wallet. ???

I like it.  Wrong, but I like it.

Recap with hints:

1) Fred died in hospital

2) Fred was not the victim of an accident

3) Fred died because he was NOT given something he desperately needed

Bonus clues:

1) Fred was walking through a bad area of town

2) The owner of the found wallet was quite religious

That ought to do it!

Poison spider / insect in the wallet.

It bit him.

He was not given an anti-venom.

Died as a result.

So the spider owned the wallet, was religious and from the wrong side of the tracks?

I think you missed my last post!

But good try, though!  :t-up:

The wallet belonged to a Jehovas witness, who made a living will stating he would refuse a blood transfusion.

Fred was seen looking in the wallet by a mugger, who stabbed him, and left poor Fred bleeding in the gutter.

The hospital saw the living will in the wallet, and poor Fred was not given the transfusion in accordance with "his" wishes.

Eyethenque!
