ELDERLY COUPLE
FOUND DEAD
Two elderly Kingston area residents were
found dead at about 2:00 p.m. Wednesday in what Tuscola County Sheriffs deputies say
was a suicide and then an accident.
Found dead from gunshot wounds in the head was
Mr. Charles Doran, 84, who resided on Burmon Rd, five and one half miles northeast of
Kingston. His body was found in the living room. A .22 caliber rifle lay nearby.
Mr. Dorans wife, Eva, was found lying on
the floor in the doorway of a bedroom, dead from skull and brain injuries. Deputies said
Mrs. Doran apparently suffered the injuries when she collapsed following her
husbands death. They said she either fell against the door or door frame.
Sheriff Hugh Marr was called Wednesday by
Dorans neighbor, William King, 43, who lives on Clothier Rd, one-half mile west of
the Doran home. King said another neighbor of the Dorans, Mrs. William Shoemaker,
had phoned and asked him to take a look. Mrs. Shoemaker told King she was snowbound,
unable to check, and that she had seen no activity at the Doran home since Monday.
Sheriff Marr and detective Robert Lawson
investigated and found the bodies. Coroner William Clark of Vassar said the couple had
been dead at least since Monday. Sheriff Hugh Marr said although the Doran home was
surrounded with snow that it was stocked with sufficient provisions. |
