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:
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isnt: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, Wouldnt it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?”
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
“When Death to either shall come
I pray it be first to me.”
—Robert Bridges (18441930)
