Zimmerman Man Refuses Food for Twenty-Three Days and Dies in Minneapolis Hospital.
William O. Freeland, of Zimmerman, Minn., starved himself to death at St. Barnabas hospital, Minneapolis, by refusing to eat for 23 days following an operation for gall-stones. Death occurred March 17, but the cause was not known until yesterday, when Dr. H. C. Aldrich filed the death certificate which reads:
"The cause of death was exhaustion, dependent on homesickness and consequent refusal to eat for 23 days. He was otherwise doing well." Mr. Freeland is survived by a son, J. L. Freeland, of Minneapolis, and a daughter, who resides in Zimmerman. Both have children, and it was chiefly for the grandchildren that Mr. Freeland pined during his illness. He was 58 years old.- St. Paul Dispatch, March 23.
