times he fell off of the bed, al
though I propped chairs and
weighted them down with a heaws
pole to keep him on the bed.
“Early Wednesday morning 1
found my brother Ilying on the
floor in the kitchen. Unable 1o
awaken him, I ecalled in a phy:si
cian who advised that he be car
ried to the hospital. I carried him
to the .hospital myself and re
mained with hdm until physiicans
had determined that he was suf
fering from a fracture of the
skull,” ;
