mercury bichloride Poisoning at Johns Hopkins Hospital, wife Ora Mae. FURTHER ADDING SKEPTICISM TO "SUICIDE" WAS NO AUTOPSY WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN PERFORMED..A REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH DEATH! before death, carpet layer. Death Cert informant: Brother James T.Wood. Buried February 27, 1932 via Chambers Funeral Home, N.W. DC DC Death Record 25664.
It could be assumed that with Raymond's death (in 1932) that the rest of the (closest part of his) family would ultimately opt to be buried, within fairly close proximity, at Cedar Hill. Father, James Buchanan Wood, was buried nearby, as well as brother William Wallace, and (William's) wife Esther. Raymond's mother; Ella Pippen-Wood-Mantas, was buried in Flagler Memorial Park, Miami FL.
Raymond's death Certificate lists death as suicide, however no known reason for his admittance to Johns Hopkins Hospital could be found, which in some cases, the drug mercury bichloride, could have been prescribed to him to treat a host of illnesses, which WAS COMMON during the era in which he lived and died.. The death Certificate states that this drug 'was' in-fact the cause of his death, but NO AUTOPSY was noted as having been performed or requested (via coroner's inquest). A married young working man dying at age 23, is highly suspicious to this writer as having been listed as a 'suicide', and no further information given or sought at the time of his death!
Mercuric chloride was used to disinfect wounds by Arab physicians in the Middle Ages. It continued to be used by Arab doctors into the twentieth century, until modern medicine deemed it unsafe for use.
Syphilis was frequently treated with mercuric chloride before the advent of antibiotics. It was inhaled, ingested, injected, and applied topically. Poisoning was so common that its symptoms were confused with those of syphilis.
In the days before antibiotics, physicians used mercury bichloride HgCl2 (also called mercury chloride without the “bi”) to treat a variety of diseases, notably syphillis. Highly toxic, odorless, and colorless, it was meant to be applied topically to the sores that developed as this disease progressed. It was also used in very diluted form (1 part to 1000) for tonsillitis.
