Doing online research today, I located the Newspaper article which validates Carol's story of the Tompsett suicide. This came from the Detroit Free Press, dated Monday, April 4, 1949. I made a copy of the whole page, and in a tiny paragraph just to the left of the Neds logo I found the article.
The address 14555 Burt still exists in Detroit, which is amazing since half the houses there have been torn down, burned down, or are crumbling ruins. But it is vacant and owned by the bank, so I think it won't be around much longer.
It is very sad to actually see this article. It makes the death more real to me.
