Tumble Down Stairs Is Fatal
Accidental death was the official ruling Monday on the mishap Saturday which
took the life of Alexander Krizan, 53, of N. Fourth St.
Krizan died at the Memorial Hospital of a skull fracture he received in a fall
down a flight of stairs shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday.
Police said Krizan was found at the bottom of the stairs in the Barn tavern,
705 Chicago St.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, ruled Monday that Krizan's death
was accidental.
Krizan, a worker at the Hamilton Manufacturing Company in Two Rivers, entered the
tavern an hour before the accident, police were told.
He was on his way to the basement rest room when he apparently tripped and fell
down a flight of 11 steps.

about two hours later.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Urbanek and Schlei Funeral

Price.

and Wenzel Krizan of Racine; daughter, Appolina of Racine; three brothers, Michael
