Law Student Kills Himself In Apartment

Second year law student Paul Arnold Nurick '45 hanged himself in his room at 40 Mt. Auburn st. last night. His body was discovered by his roommate, another second year law student. Robinson O. Everett '47, at 8:10 p.m.

According to the Cambridge Police Medical Examiner, David C. Dow '27, who signed the certificate, death was caused by "asphixiation." Although no note was found, Dow claimed that Nurick had been depressed. He used a piece of rope stretched from the top of the door leading to his room, which was on the second floor of the house.

Nurick, a veteran, lived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City. Last fall he and Everett challenged the Yale football coach Horman Hickman to a food eating contest.

In an article on new college coaches, Life Magazine stated that Hickman "could eat more than any two men alive." The contest, which was to be paid for by the loser, was never staged.
