Retired Tombstone Driver Jack Dawson Dies by Own Hand
The longtime Tombstone and Benson stage line courier Jack Dawson, once famed for handling six horses, ended his life by cutting his throat and drowning in a Tucson hospital tank after a period of ill health and failed remedies. The coroner ruled death self-inflicted, and burial occurred in Tucson with funds from local citizens. The report also notes confusion over his name and origins, with references linking him to the 2th Massachusetts infantry and a career postwar in Arizona.
