Death Cause
Being Sought

County Prosecutor George Meader stated today that further examination relating to the death of Mrs. Carl Sheler, who was found dead in her trailer home at 2050 E. Michigan Ave. Thursday evening, will be necessary before cause of death can be fully determined. The prosecutor said the result of the autopsy performed by Dr. Robert J. Parsons at the University Hospital, Ann Arbor, apparently excluded all causes except poisoning, but that traces of carbon monoxide were found. Carbon monoxide is a gas formed by imperfect combustion. Specimens were taken today by the Ypsilanti State Police to Dr. A. W. Muehlberger of the State Crimes Detection Laboratory, Department of Health, at Lansing to definitely determine the nature of the poison. Funeral services for Mrs. Sheler will be at her former home in Lake City, Mich.
