O.W. MAHONE FOUND DEAD YESTERDAY MORNING IN FRONT OF GAS STOVE, SISTER'S HOME
Octavius Walter Mahone, 56 years old, was found dead yesterday morning, believed to have been a victim of suicide, at the home of his sister, Mrs. J.W. Pickett, 234 Thirty-seventh Street. When the body was found it was in front of the gas cooking range, with the oven door open and the gas fumes pouring from it.
The body was found about 5:30 this morning when Mrs. Pickett came downstairs to begin preparations for breakfast. She found the kitchen door closed, she declared, and gas fumes were very strong outside the door. She became alarmed and called to a Mr. McCord and a Mr. McGee, who live in the house. They entered the kitchen and found the body immediately in front of the range, and the atmosphere of the room saturated with the fumes of gas.
Police were communicated with at once and in the absence from the city of Dr. Colbert Tyler, city coroner, Dr. Samuel A. Downing was called. He made an examination and pronounced the man a suicide and death due to asphixiation by gas. Following the coroner's examination the body was removed to Rouse's undertaking parlors to be held there pending the arrival of relatives from Richmond.
No cause for the man's action could be gleaned from any of the man's relatives or friends who were communicated with this morning, police say. He has been residing in the city for some years, and was a painter by trade.
He is survived by two sons, Eugene and Arthur Mahone, three daughters, Mrs. Winfred Bass, Mrs. Chris Woodcock and Mrs. Wright, all of Richmond, and one sister, Mrs. J.W.Pickett, of this city, with whom he made his home.
Husband of Willie Etta Binns Mahone.
