Samuel McConnell Brown (c. 1865 – 24 August 1923) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1917 to 1921, representing the seat of Subiaco.
[1] He first stood for parliament at the 1901 state election, as an independent, but was defeated in Subiaco by Labor's Henry Daglish (a future premier).
[2] At the 1917 Subiaco by-election, Brown stood for a third time and was elected, replacing Labor's Bartholomew Stubbs (who had been killed in action in Flanders).
He served only a single term, losing his seat to Walter Richardson of the National Labor Party at the 1921 state election.
His throat was a cut and a razor found next to the body, leading the coroner to return a verdict of suicide.
