GRIMSBY YOUTH IS FOUND DEAD
[Welland Tribune, January 13, 1947]
Grimsby, Jan 13-Attracted to the house by the playing of a radio, George Mould, Grimsby Beach, found 18-year-old Bruce Graham dead in the home of his parents, Mr. And Mrs J.A. Graham of North Grimsby township, late Saturday. In another room, he found a Grat Dane dog and a cat, also dead.
Investigation by Provincial Constables Edward Hope and William Gillings revealed that a heavy fire apparently had been built in the furnace and a draught left closed. Graham’s death was believed due to coal gas.
The boy was last seen alive at 10:30 on Thursday night. He had been living alone in the house since returning from Texas, where his parents were staying for the winter. He had returned only a few days before. Last night, the parents were on their way by aircraft from Texas.
An autopsy was performed Saturday by Dr. Lorne Whittaker, Pathologist of St Catherines General Hospital. Coroner Dr. A.F. MacIntyre visited the house Saturday night. The youth was believed to have died some time after midnight Thursday.
