May 14, 1903 - "The coroner's jury in the inquest as to the cause of the death of Franklin Bailey, met at Orion Wednesday and decided that Bailey died of heart failure. Dr. J. W. Fox was the coroner in the case. He made a post mortem examination and stated unhesitatingly that death was due from heart disease and that Bailey had not drowned as was supposed.
It will be recalled that Bailey, who lived north and east of Clarkston, in Independence township, left home on Sunday afternoon, April 19. He had but recently returned from the asylum here, and was in very poor health. His family kept a constant watch of him and he was not supposed to leave the house without a companion. While the family slept Bailey slipped out of the house and went rowing on the lake, a few rods distant from the house. His heart was weak and it is supposed the exertion of rowing the boat was too much. He fell into the lake but was evidently dead before he struck the water as no water was found in his lungs. The body came to the surface of the lake on Friday of last week just as a party of searchers were preparing to drag the lake.
The jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by heart failure.".
