FOUND HANGED; NOTE ASKS BODY GO TO A SCHOOL
A man identified as R. E. Boyles, 45 years old, 723 West 119th street, was found hanged from a tree near Morgan and 128th streets yesterday, apparently a suicide. He left a note, dated last Sept. 21, stating that he wished his body delivered to the nearest medical school, and added, "I do not care what happens to my personal property".
A postscript, dated Jan. 23, expressed the wish that the Nagoda family, with whom he lived, receive his personal property. Kensington police said the family was absent, apparently on a vacation.
