Socialite's Death Cause Still Mystery REDWOOD CITY, Sept. 8
Cause of death of Mrs. Rosalind Warwick Morshead, 52, Peninsula socialite of 540 Moore road, Woodside, regained a mystery today after the coroner's office reported findings of an autopsy to be "inconclusive." Mrs. Morshead was found dead in her bed yesterday morning by her husband, Merrill C. Morshead, a vice president of: the Pleasant Valley Farm who maintains offices at 111 Sutler street in San Francisco.
Argument Told
Sheriff's Inspector Delbert Creeks, who investigated, said Morshead told him his wife had made suicidal threats on Thursday night following an argument. -Early Thursday evening she had taken her mother. Mrs. Arline Peck Warwick of San Francisco and a former Chicago social figure to a train after a day's visit. It was when Mrs. Morshead returned home that the reported argument ensued. Her husband said she made threats to take sleeping pills and then went to her room, later locking herself in the bathroom. Worried, Morshead called Dr. James E. Henny and conversed with him on the phone.
Early yesterday, according to Creeks, Morshead found his wife unconscious, possibly dead, in her bed and called Dr. Henney who came to the home and pronounced Mrs. Morshead dead.
Analysis Under Way
There was no note nor any other indication that she might have taken her life, excepting the verbal threat made to her husband earlier. The coroner's office said today that the autopsy was without findings, but that vital organs had been removed for analysis and that a report upon this will be mads within three days to five weeks. The Morsheads, married in 1926, have two sons, Merrill C. Morshead Jr., 29, of Belmont, and Jeffery S. Morshead of San Francisco. Mrs. Morshead's father is Robert Warwick, a one-time well known motion picture actor who presently resides in Beverly Hills. Funeral arrangements are being made by Redwood chapel in Redwood City and services have been scheduled for 11 a. m. Monday at the Woodside Village church. Friends may call at the chapel.
