Mystery surrounds Dr Binkley death in Chicago coroner inquest
In Chicago on June 8, coroner's inquest heard evidence that supports death by robbery rather than suicide for Dr John T. Binkley Sr of Evansville Indiana. The 82 year old physician was found in a Wellington hotel room with a pistol, a blood stained face, and a wallet missing from an inner pocket. Firearm wound reportedly instant, but witnesses disputed powder marks and a possible self inflicted act, with no weapon recovered from the doctor.
