1932, April 27
The body of inventor, Jacob D’amarite was found mangled in the backyard of his Portland home. The coroner, Dr. Donald Emery, could not determine the true cause of death, only that it was most likely due to the apparent physical abnormalities.
“His body, on every level down even to his bones, appear to have been twisted by some unknown means. Further trauma, as indicated by extreme bruising on the underside of the body, indicates that Mr. D’amarite was then dropped from a great height.”
When asked for a possible cause, the coroner only had this to say. “That’s something you’ll need to take up with Mr. Charles Fort.”
Jacob is survived by his wife, Madeline who declined comment. Police, who have ruled the case as suspicious and probable homicide, say she is not a suspect at this time.
