Second suicide of the infamous Lemp Family. Elsa committed suicide just 12 days after remarrying her ex-husband. She suffered from acute indigestion and severe mental depression.


Cause of Death: Suicide, gunshot wound to heart.


Some suspect her death to be a murder masked as a suicide; a feature film exploring this idea, Lemp's Last Wright, previously titled The Case for Elsa Lemp, was developed. The film includes interviews with Lemp history experts, family members, CSI and a gun specialist.
