Youth Likes Swinging But It Ends in Death

Canton, N. Y., Mar. 22 (U.P.) - Worth Lake, 13-year-old son of Mrs.
Luella Lake, of Syracuse liked to swing in his grandfather's barn. Today
the rope on which he had ridden from one side to the other had caused
his death.

In swinging the child tied the rope around his body. Yesterday in an
unexplained manner it became wound around his neck. Coroner Royal L.
Dunlop ruled that death was 'accidental and due to a broken neck.'

Worth is survived by two sisters, Barbara, of Syracuse, and Mary of
Edwardsville, and two brothers, Donald and Richard of Marcellus.
