The bishop was discovered dead at home by his son-in-law on 16 August, after returning the prior Thursday, 12 August, from a lengthy vacation with his family, who had remained behind.[5] Milk delivered that Thursday had been brought into the house but not milk left the next day. He had recently complained of heart problems.[6]
