Leaves Enough Cash For Burial, Says Notes Under Man's Body
David Duey, 27, was found dead on the floor of his apartment at 455 Laurel st. (sic) shortly before 10 a.m. yesterday with a note under his body asserting that he was leaving enough cash and bonds to bury him.
Police said they found $500 of U.S. Saving Bonds and $125 in cash in an envelope in his pocket. An additional $123 and his Army discharge papers were on a dresser nearby. Also on the dresser was a partly-emptied glass containing a clear liquid which will be analyzed to see if it is poison, officers reported.
The note found under the body when it was lifted upon a stretcher read: "Notify Finley Duey at Winfield, Mo. Everything is cleaned up. There is cash and bonds enough to bury. Don't call Chick and doris. Make it simple and forget I ever existed. My only explanation for doing this terrible things is that I am so depressed and feel that I am tired of living. Don't grieve for me as there is no one to blame but myself."
