Man’s Death in Jail Cell Ruled Suicide

The body of Dale Louis Lundin, 21, of 835 ½ N. Topeka, was found hanging in a St. Marys jail cell early Sunday morning, reported W.P. McKinnon, Pottwatomie County sheriff.

The young man was reported to have been despondent for some time, the sheriff said. A coroner’s jury ruled the death a suicide.

The youth was in jail after being arrested about 12:30 a.m. Sunday on a charge of reckless driving.

He was born near Mayetta March 23, 1939, and spent three years in the Army. He was a salesman and parts man for Wester Tire Co. of Topeka.

Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Nora Patton of Delia; his father, Marlin Lundin, 311 Kansas; and three brothers, George and Ralph Lundin of Delia and Darrell Lundin of Silver Lake.

Services will be at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Delia Presbyterian Church with burial in Delia.
