Death by own action theory in Mattoon case
In Mattoon Illinois on August fifth investigators ruled death of Miss Cora Stallman a result of death by own action. The 48 year old former Cincinnati teacher was found in a cistern with no water in the lungs. Doctors suggested a cold water shock could have caused instant death. No inquest will be held and vital organs will not be tested for poisons unless relatives pay. Relatives and State's Attorney Fletcher believe she wrote cryptic notes and that mental disturbance led to self destruction.
