The body of Louis Marshall, who died here yesterday, will be transported today to the Friesenberg Jewish cemetery, where the formalities of sealing the coffin and annulling his passport will take place in the presence of the American Consul General.
It is understood that transportation of the body to the United States will not take place before the middle of the month.
At eleven o’clock Wednesday morning it became evident that it would be impossible to save Mr. Marshall’s life.
During the last hour, the patient slept, breathing more and more slowly until his heart stopped beating at two minutes after 3 P. M. Zurich time.
