Norfolk Virginian March 8, 1877

Found Dead In His Bed - Yesterday at about ten o'clock, a young man named M.W. 
Halstead, was found dead in his bed at No. 78 Main Street, where he has been 
rooming for the last three months. The discovery of his death was made by the 
chambermaid of the house, who after several attempts, at different times, to get 
into the room, looked through the glass pane above the door and saw him lying on 
the bed apparently dead. A police officer was called in, the coroner was 
notified, and an inquest held over the body. The jury, consisting of the 
following gentlemen, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to 
his death from unknown causes, W.B. Roberts, W.J. Robins, D. Humphreys, Henry 
Clark, Geo W. Rhea and C.B. Langley.  There were no evidences of violence on the 
body and no grounds for the supposition that the deceased committed suicide.  
Mr. Halstead had recently returned from the West, where he had been for some 
time and has relatives in the city who will doubtless take charge of his 
remains.
