Dead professor linked to Chicago mystery death by own action
James A. Boyce, a retired Denver college professor, cannot explain how a cremated body in Chicago was identified as him. His daughter Myrna Boyce initially supported the identification, though the dead man’s missing left arm and other coincidences raise questions. Boyce says he lived in a State Street rooming house, left Chicago Oct 22, and reached Denver Oct 27, seeking Chicago police updates on the case.
