FILM STUDIO TRAGEDY
LONDON. Jan. 20. “It seems incredible,” said the South Buckinghamshire coroner yesterday when told that a man who gassed himself in the property department at Pinewood film studios, walked 50 yards to his office, unlocked the door, and sat down in his chair to die. The man, 47-year-old William Fowler, curtain master at the studios, had left a note on his desk: “In George Smith’s shop beware of gas.” Verdict: “Suicide while the balance of his mind was disturbed.”
