Farmer Died Natural Death, Doctor Finds
Heart Attack Is Ruled Cause in Donovan Case
MANITOWOC — The mystery surrounding the death of Daniel Donovan, 71 year old retired farmer, was dispelled here early Thursday when an autopsy established that he died from natural causes.
The autopsy was performed at 6 a.m. at the Berge Funeral Home by Dr. S. S. Schochet, a pathologist who located in Manitowoc just a few days ago. Dr.
Schochet found death due to a heart attack and estimated that life had been extinct four or five days.
Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen, who had previously attributed death to a broken neck, concurred in Dr. Schochet's finding.
"We are satisfied," Dr. Teitgen said, "that he died of coronary occlusion."
Dr. Teitgen said he based his original finding on the fact that the neck joints had crumpled upon examination of the body at the funeral home early Wednesday,giving the appearance that they had been broken. He said the neck joints were probably disturbed in handling of the body, which was in an extensive state of decomposition.
Events leading up to the discovery of the body were described later Thursday morning by Dr. H.C. Kleeman, Kiel chiropractor, during an interview with Dr. Teitgen and Sheriff Alvin S. Gill.
Finds Man Dead
Kleeman told the authorities that he had been treating Donovan at two week intervals during the last, several months. He said he last saw Donovan alive on Jan. 16. On two occasions since then, Dr. Kleeman said, he had gone to the Donovan home about five miles west of Valders on Highway 151 but was not able to see the man.
The first time he did not get any response to his knocking and on the second occasion, last Saturday, he was told by Mrs. Donovan that her husband was outgetting a haircut.
Dr. Kleeman said that Mrs. Donovan called him about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and asked him to come to the house. Arriving there shortly after 6:15, he found Donovan dead in bed and notified Dr. Mark Foley of St. Nazianz. Dr. Teitgen
quoted Dr. Kleeman as saying that he waited until Dr. Foley arrived and then left. Earlier the coroner had reported that Dr. Kleeman had left before Dr.Foley arrived.
Dr. Foley conducted an examination of the body and established death due to a heart attack. Donovan had suffered a stroke about a year ago and spent some time in a Sheboygan rest home.
After the body was removed to the funeral home following a two hour delay before the undertakers were able to rouse Mrs. Donovan, who is a semi-invalid, Dr. Teitgen was called into the case and conducted his examination. He found the body in an advanced state of decomposition with the face partly eaten away apparently by rats or cats.
No Coherent Account
Accompanied by Sheriff Gill and armed with electric lanterns because the house had no electricity, Dr. Teitgen inspected the premises and said he found it
in a badly littered and cluttered condition.
Mrs. Donovan was in an erratic mental condition, Dr. Teitgen said, and was not able to give a coherent account of what had happened or why she had failed tonotify authorities of her husband's death. Authorities believe that Donovan died last Friday or Saturday. Arrangements are being made to remove Mrs. Donovan from the home.
Funeral services for Mr. Donovan will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Gregory's Catholic Church at St. Nazianz with the Rev. Denis Cooney officiating. Burial will be in the adjoining church cemetery.
Mr. Donovan was born May 2, 1855, in Calumet County and married Pernelia Williams June 17, 1929, at St. Nazianz. The couple had no children. A brother, Patrick, of Milwaukee, died about a year ago.
