Death of Clever Experimenter Tied to Annapolis Resignation
A.Coger, famed for remote electrical control at the Annapolis Naval Academy, died in his bed from what coroner ruled as death by his own action. A tube releasing deadly gas was found in his hands, linking the death to inhalation during prior experiments. His resignation followed alarming demonstrations at Bancroft Hall and a bid toward West Point. His father, Major Joseph R. Cyre, said the victim died of a heart attack, but coroner tied it to the gas exposure.
