D. Marley of Seagrove, Route 2, apparently playing with a .22 target pistol in his bedroom Sunday night, shot himself in the forehead. He is believed to ha-ve died instantly. Ira Delaven Marley, Jr., was found by his sister, Miss Phyl lis Marley, 20, about 11:30 pm, dead in bed, with the Sunday comic pages spread around him, the pistol in his hand. Coroner W. K. Carpenter ruled the death an accident, all evidence sustaining this finding. The coroner said the child had pulled the trigger of the pistol after pressing the pistol to his forehead. He said the boy was either playing a game, not realizing his dan ger, or didn’t know the pistol was loaded. Carpenter said only one cartridge was in the pistol. The boy had been trained by his father in the use of firearms and was allowed to keep the pistol in his room, since, because of Deputy Mar- ley’s occupation, the boy was sometimes left alone at night.
