It has information about the fire and that he died of suffocation and was pronounced died on arrival at St. Joseph`s Hospital. But his sister`s Irene MIDDLETON and Blanche McCLAIN both said that they knew he had been murdered because his body was searched and money (information given by other employees) that he had won in a card game a short time before the fire broke out was not found on him. His sister`s said that the fire was started to cover the murder. I don`t know how they came to that conclusion. Thank you for your help. Glenda MIDDLETON Notify Administrator about this message?
