From all indications the young man had committed suicide. Examination by the authorities proved that he had taken the car belonging to his father on Sunday evening without the knowledge of his parents and contrary to instructions from them. He had been out late in the evening and overturned the car. It was also learned that he had been drinking. The body of Bartholomew was found lying near the exhaust of the car; all doors to the garage were closed.
