A passerby happened to hear groans in the San Rafael coroner's office, and upon investigating found the man leaning against a door. Dr. Jones, who attended Col. Best in the first days of his fatal illness, was summoned, and two hours later Ward was dead. “The cause of the Deputy Coroner's @eath is given as heart disease," said \lgitpea M4.
