The body was discovered by two small children. It was removed to Lei cester and an autopsy held. It was at first believed that the young man had either been murdered or had •ommltted suicide, but after a full In vestigation the coroner’s Jury returned a verdict that death probably resulted from the accidental discharge of Fos ter’s pistol. The weapon, a .38-callbre Smith A Wesson revolver, was found in the load a few feet from the body, with one cartridge discharged. The theory of the coroner’s physician is that young Foster was examining the pistol and holding it close to his face to look down the barrel, the weapon was ac cidentally discharged, the ball enter ing the right eye.
