Cambridge Man's Tragic Death
Cambridge, June 17.
The coroner, W. R. Wallis, today ordered a post- mortem on Dr. Douglas Edward Lea, 37-year- old radio biology researcher, who fell nearly 70 feet to his death from a sixth-storey window of Cambridge University Library, yesterday. Friends believe Lea fell accidentally, possibly while trying to open the window of the sixth floor room in which he had been working on his research notes.
