Description
Holden died from a laceration to his forehead, caused when he struck his head on a nightstand during a bout of heavy drinking. Remaining conscious for half an hour or so after the injury, he never realized he was in peril and should phone for help; had he done so, he would surely have lived. His autopsy report is 26 pages in length, and even includes the dental records used to identify his body, plus the death certificate. Holden's probate file can be found elsewhere in our catalogues.
