The Evening Star, August 14, 1883 Found Dead in Bed An Overdose of Chloral
Joseph R. Crozet, a man about forty years of age, was found dead in his bed at his boarding place, No. 322 C street northwest, about 5 o'clock this morning. At first it was thought that he had committed suicide, but an investigation showed that he had died from an overdose of chloral, administered probably for the purpose of obtaining relief. He had been dissipated, and it is thought had drank considerable lately. He wrote prescriptions himself and obtained chloral on them several times during the past week. Yesterday he obtained a drachm and a half of the drug from Christiani's drug store on a prescription which appears to t be signed "Cole." Crozet once studied medicine, and, though he never took his degree, has occasionally prescribed for people in cases of necessity. It appears that he took all the chloral he obtained yesterday, which was enough to kill a man in his condition. The body was removed this morning to Henry Lees' Sons, undertaking establishment, Pennsylvania avenue. Coroner Patterson made an investigation, which resulted in his giving a certificate of death from an overdose of chloral, accidentally taken. Dr. Patterson said he thought no blame could be attached to the druggists, as any one would have issued the drug on such prescriptions as Crozet furnished. Crozet talked with some of his fellow-boarders at nine o'clock last night. It is thought that he took a part of the chloral, which stupefied him. Then waking he took the rest of the chloral, which put him into a sleep from which he will never awake. He was living here alone. Formerly, it is stated, he was a lieutenant in the revenue marine service. It appears that he as been an unfortunate victim of an appetite for drink. Last September he was arrested here on a charge of forgery, preferred by Wm. Hughes. It was claimed that he had obtained goods on forged orders, having represented himself as a naval officer empowered to obtain supplies. When investigated, however, the charge of forgery was not made out, and Crozet was released. His desire to get liquor, it is said, got him into the scrape.
