W. 2d 546, appellant’s decedent lost her life. Appellant sued to recover damages for the decedent’s death. The cases were not consolidated but were tried by the same jury on the same evidence. At the conclusion of all the evidence *260 the Trial Court directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of appellee.
