last night in his home at Spring- vale, on the Malpeque Road some l2 miles from Charlottetown. Royal Canadian Mounted Police began an investigation of the cir- cumstance of his death. However there was no suggestion of foul play.

Coroner Dr. J,D. MacGuigan or- dered a post-mortem examination of the body today. The findings of the autopsy will probably deter- mine whether there will be an in- quest.

The man lived alone. His

was discovered about 8 o'clock last night. apparently by a neighbor. The body was on the floor, with a part of the trousers practically the only clothing remaining. Appar- ently the man had been fully dressed. but the bulk of the cloth- ing had been burned away.

The broken parts of a coal lamp were found close to the body. From preliminary investigation it. was believed the man collapsed while carrying a lighted lamp. Appar- ently the fire went out. after it flared up in the spilled coal oil.

It was considered possible death had been due to a heart attack.

It was known Mr. Bell had been in Charlottetown Saturday night and it is possible his death took place shortly after he returned home.

He was well known to a large number of people. particularly farmers. Part of his interests in- ciuded selling medicines and other materials for cattl treatment.
