Prime Minister of Prince Edward Island dies

On January 10, 1936, Prince Edward Island's first premier, Walter Lea, of Victoria, dies.
The Charlottetown Guardian story reads:

The Province suffered the loss of its Prime Minister, Secretary-Treasurer and Minister of Agriculture in the person of the Hon. W.M. Lea.

His death occurred at the Prince Edward Island Hospital, following a severe cold contracted the Saturday before, which developed into pneumonia. The Premier's condition had improved by Thursday but by late Thursday evening, his condition became so serious that his family was at once sent for and were brought by plane to his bedside. 

Lea, P.E.I.'s first premier, was the first political leader in British history to head a party which won every seat in parliament, completely routing the opposing forces. His death necessitated the resignation of this successful government.
