Gowdy's friend Gowdy death case in New Richmond
A man named Gowdy, prominent in wealth and a former college mate, died by morphine and cathartic acid in a New Richmond station area after an apparent attempt to hide his whereabouts. Witnesses, surgeons, and coroner officials described a grasping, solitary end with a cautious verdict that illness and isolation contributed to his suicide. Local figures, including Mrs Carrie Cole and Dr Kissell, testified about the events and Gowdy’s state prior to death, with the case closing as self-inflicted and unsolved beyond motive. The undertaker arrangements and transport to New Richmond followed the coroner’s findings.
