From the Post-Mortem letter:
Veterans Administration Hospital
Salt Lake City 13, Utah
June 23, 1959
File Reference: 5252/111A
“ ...I should like also to tell you of our appreciation to you for permitting us to perform a post-mortem examination in order that we might learn more about the causes incident to his death. Our examination revealed that Mr. Parry had severe pulmonary emphysema and chronic infection of the air passages of his lungs. In addition, his heart had been affected by his longstanding lung disease and he had chronic heart failure. The combination of the lung infection and the heart failure was responsible for his death. We found no evidence of any other significant disease....”
Very Truly Yours,
Jerome E. Cohn, M.D.
Acting Chief
