Whether death was accidental or
intentional officials have not been
able to ascertain.
It was stated this morning that Dr.
Donsife has been in the habit of going
to the bath room for the purpose

on the hot water and intentionally
ended his life, or whether he found
out too late that the water was too
hot, is a question.
