STRICKEN WHILE SHAVING

Man Dies After Tube Slips From Gas Stove

Albert M. (sic) Brindle, 60 years old, a retired contractor of Carlisle, who boarded at the home of Mrs. L.K. Ular, 1719 Green street (sic), was found dead in his room yesterday forenoon as the result of inhaling illuminating gas. An investigation by the Coroner showed that the man's death was accidental.

About 8 o'clock Brindle was heating water in his room on a gas stove preparatory to shaving. In some way the tube connecting the stove with the gas jet became disconnected and the flow of gas is believed to have rendered Brindle unconscious. He was found lying on his bed fully dressed by his daughter Florence. She afterward told the authorities, there was absolutely no reason for her father committing suicide.
