Doyle was seen on Saturday afternoon by someone passing on the beach. He was a native of Ireland, but had lived for twenty-five years in this country. It is supposed that he has no relatives in the United States. Doyle got his living from the sale of sand. At the coroner’s inquest held by Justice R.R. Lambert, acting as coroner, it was decided that Doyle died from general debility. The funeral will probably occur today. Public Ledger, Thurs., Dec. 7, 1905, pg. 10. Thomas Doyle’s Funeral.
