Resident found dead last night
From Gila News-Courier January 6, 1945
Joe Tsujimoto, 20-year-old discharged veteran of World War II, was found dead at his home, 65-6-A, about 9:50 o'clock last night, with a knife wound through his heart, probably self-inflicted.
John W. Nichol, police chief, stated that a coroner's jury is coming today. Their verdict will be known this afternoon.
Tsujimoto was discharged from the Army on Dec. 28, 1943, and has lived with his parents here ever since. He was found dead by his father, who with other members of the facility had attended the Japanese movie at the Amphitheatre.
