Med School Confirms Death of '65 Alumnus

The Harvard Medical School Department of Legal Medicine has confirmed the death of Zabdiel Boylston Adams '65, who parachuted into the sea off East-ham by accident last summer.

Adam's body was never found, but a jawbone washed up on the beach at Nauset last month has been identified as his. The Med School compared Adam's dental x-rays with six molars remaining in the jawbone.

The fatal accident occurred when Adams tried to land on a beach near his aunt's home in Eastham. He had planned first to land in her back yard, but changed his mind.

Adams was a resident of Eliot House, a member of the Hasty Pudding, and an officer of the Fly Club.

A memorial service will be held Friday, November 11, at Memorial Church.
