Massillon Tragedy Highlights Need for City Hospital
William Seiffert, 31, of Canton, was found fatally injured after being struck by a train near Massillon. He died at 11:50 a.m. in the undertaker's morgue, as Massillon lacks a city hospital and local facilities could not provide surgery. Seiffert’s brother arrived from Canton as authorities noted the case underscores the need for hospital care in the city.
