Howard W. Bunn
Howard W. BUNN, 52, 700 Fulton avenue, died of a ruptured heart and not of weed spray poisoning. This was shown by a post mortem conducted at Memorial hospital in South Bend, the family physician reported today.
After Bunn's death at 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, rumors were rampant that he had contracted poison while spraying weeds on Lake Manitou and that the lake was unsafe.
It has been learned that Bunn was spraying weeds at the time he became ill, but that the spraying was at a county ditch and not on Lake Manitou. The post-mortem has debunked the rumors that the spraying was the cause of death.
