John G Winant Takes Own Life in New Hampshire
John G. Winant, 58, former ambassador to the Court of St James, died by self inflicted pistol shot in his bedroom in Concord New Hampshire. Medical Referee Dr Clarence Butterfield said the death occurred at 7 45 p m EST while he was alone. Miss Irene Mason and Miss Ordl Maesra heard no shot but were attracted by a thump as Winant’s body fell. The two women said he had been in low spirits and fatigued mentally and physically. His secretary and maid were in New York when notified by adviser J Bernard Teulon. His two sons John G. Winant Jr a Princeton student and Rivington Winant a student at Oxford were informed. Winant had served in London during World War II and was the US representative on the UN Economic and Social Council at war’s end. He returned to the U S in 1946 to focus on the UN role and last December asked President Truman to relieve him to resume private life.
