Man Commits Suicide in Room by Gas Pipe at 241 Harrison
Joseph Payeur 37 years old, recently unemployed and despondent, was found dead in his room at 241 Harrison Avenue yesterday afternoon. He hanged himself from a window cord attached to a gas pipe, using a table for the setup, and then kicked the table to complete the act. Payeur, married but estranged from his wife, had been living there weeks, unable to secure work, and had recently expressed a wish not to live if labor remained unavailable. His wife, who had left him with a child in France, discovered the body after forcing entry with a tenant. The body was removed by Undertaker Jones under the Medical Examiner’s order.
