Austin Officially Declared Suicide

Brighton police have completed their investigation of the Friday death of Fleming S. Austin '51 and there is "no question but that the cause is suicide," Captain Edward L. Connelly said last night.

"It's up to the College to take action about the gun, if it wants to." Connelly stated. State rules allow persons to keep weapons in their own homes, but College regulations forbid students from keeping firearms in rooms without permission.

Dean Leighton last night declined statement "at this time" concerning any pending College investigation.
