Laid to uneasy rest: D.D. Palmer, 1913.

A study of the documentary records related to D.D. Palmer's death in Los Angeles in 1913 provided several surprises and a number of unanswered questions. How tall was D.D. Palmer? Why were the Founder's attending physicians persuaded to change their opinions about the primary cause of death? Was there a private autopsy, and what of the reported abscess in Palmer's side? What role did D.D.'s widow play in the patricide controversy? There is more to the documentary trail to explore.
