So, how did he die????

And why in New Haven? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Piledhigheranddeeper: Thanks for taking an interest in the content. From what I've read, he was visiting friends in New England but I don't recall the source giving an exact cause of death. I'll see about adding some more details when the rush subsides. It may be that the Princetonian source has more details but I've not read it all yet. Andrew D. (talk) 08:03, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
