SPENCER A7SCUE
COMMITS SUICIDE
State Hospital Night Supervisor
Last Was Seen Late Tuesday
Night
The body of Spencer ISacon
Ayscue, 23, night supervisor at
the State Hospital here, was
found' Friday in a "decomposed
condition" in a third-floor stor
age room in the main building.
The body was found by hospital
employes when efforts to trace a
"strange odor" led to the storage
room.
Ayscue was scheduled to begin
his vacation on Wednesday morn
ing of this week, and he had not
been seen since Tuesday night at
10. Coroner Roy M. Banks, call
ed to the hospital yesterday af
ternoon at 2 when the body was
found, said that Ayscue probably
had been dead since Tuesday
night.
Coroner Rues Suicide
Coroner Banks reported that
there was no evidence of "out
side violence," and described the
death as "a clear case of suicide
by drugs." Ayscue, as night su
pervisor, had access to all the
drugs at the hospital, hospital of
ficials said, and it is believed that
he locked himself in the tiny
storage room and took a poison
ous drug. There were no wounds
of any kind on his body. Coro
ner Banks said.
Ayscue had barricaded the
door of the storage room by
propping a chair against it and
had left the window screen fas
tened, so that hospital officials
and workers had to force their
way into the room. Ayscue was
found sitting in a chair with his
shoes off and bis feet on a desk
in front of him. He had stripped
himself from the waist up, Banks
reported.
Found on the desk. Banks re
ported, was a note addressed to
K. P. Pierce, business manager of
the hospital, requesting that
Pierce remove the money from
Ayscue's pockets, put it with the
money Ayscue had in the creBlt
union, and turn it all over to
Ayscue's wife, Mrs. Lillian Den
ton Ayscue, formerly of Lonia
oUrg. Mrs. Ayscue has made
her home at the State Hospital
since her husband came there as
night supervisor four years ago.
