Edwin Alonzo Boyd - Death

Death

Two months prior to his death, Boyd told a CBC producer that he had once killed a couple and left their bodies in the trunk of a car in High Park, Toronto years before his notoriety as a bank robber. The crime fits the September 11, 1947 murders of Iris Scott and George Vigus.

Before a formal investigation into his confession could commence, on May 17, 2002, after a visit from his wife and his son, and a phone call from his former war bride and the mother of his three children, Edwin Alonzo Boyd died at age 88.

Famous quotes containing the word death:

    and so this tree—
    Oh, that such our death may be!—
    Died in sleep, and felt no pain,
    To live in happier form again:
    From which, beneath Heaven’s fairest star,
    The artist wrought this loved guitar;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Can even death dry up
    These new delighted lakes, conclude
    Our kneeling as cattle by all-generous waters?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Poor fellow never joyed since the price of oats rose, it was
    the death of him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
