                         Dose of Poison Proves Fatal

      Leo F. Lockamy, Formerly of Norfolk, Dies In Newport News Hospital

Newport New, May 8 --Leo Francis Lockamy, 37, died today in a local hospital as 
result of accidental poisoning. Dr. G. Colbert Tyler, city coroner, pronounced 
the death accidental.
Mr. Lockamy, formerly of Norfolk, was reported by his landlady to have taken 
poison. She said that he told her he had mistaken the contents of a bottle in 
the bathroom, where she found him overcome. He was taken to the hospital where 
he died several hours later. He had been employed at the Newport News 
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company as a painter since March. He told hospital 
attaches that he thought he was taking a headache preparation as designated on 
the label on the bottle, but learned too late it was poison. 
He is survived by a brother, Thomas P. Lockamy, 115 Gilpen Avenue, Norfolk. The 
body will be taken to that city tomorrow, funeral services to be held Monday at 
the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Ocean View, at 10 o'clock. Interment will be 
in Forest Lawn Cemetery.
The landlady told the coroner she did not know how long he had been on the 
bathroom floor before being found.
