JAMES DEHAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED Public Works Employe Died of Cerebral Hemorrhage, Says Dr. Moody James Dehan, age 76 years and for the past few years employed by the board of public works, was found dead in his bed at about 9:30 o'clock this morning in the rooming house conducted by Mrs. Julia LaFlamme in the Stanley building at 338 Main street. Medical Examiner Waterman Lyons was out of town but Medical Examiner C. W. Moody of Plainville was called and gave the cause of death as cerebral hemorrhage. The man was found by one of the girls working at the house who, find- ing the door to his room locked, knocked but did not receive an an- swer, She knocked again but when there was no response she looked through the transom and saw the body in bed. Because the key was on the inside of the room it was found necessary to break the door open. The police were immediately noti- fied and they in turn attempted to call Dr. Lyons. When they learned he was out of town Chief W. C. Hart called Dr. R. M. Griswold in Berlin but at his home it was stated that he would not return. Coroner Cal- houn of Hartford was then called and he gave Chief Hart permission to call Dr. Moody. Mr. Dehan was born in Ireland but came to this country about 50 years ago making his home in New Brit- aln. He was employed for a num- ber of ¥ears as an iron moulder in local factories, Fo» the past few yvears he has been working for the city. He leaves two sons, Timothy Dehan of Fast Berlin, James Dehan of New York and a daughter, Mrs. John Ryan of Boston. Funeral arrange- ments, 1n charge of M. J. Kenney & Co., are incomplete.
