Daniel James “Danny” Flohr
Daniel James “Danny” FLOHR, 19, Akron, killed himself early this morning in his attic
bedroom while Sheriff Willard CLARK and members of the family were talking in the first floor
living room of the Flohr home on East Rochester street in Akron.
The boy, a member of the U.S. Navy, shot himself in the right temple with a .32 caliber
automatic of Spanish make. Presence of the weapon in the house was unknown to all but the
youth.
Clark had been called to the house after the boy, who left his military station in Memphis,
Tenn., without permission on Oct. 5, arrived home.
Clark said he told Flohr the latter would have to come to Fulton county jail and be given
over to Naval authorities. The boy said he would go, but that he needed to put on a pair of socks,
the sheriff said.
Flohr left the living room for his bedroom. The mother was telling the sheriff that the
youth had been mentally distressed of late when the sound of the automatic was heard.
Dr. Carson McGUIRE, deputy coroner, pronounced the youth dead of a self-inflicted
wound. Time of death was set at 2:05 a.m.
Flohr was born Aug. 15, 1940, in Akron to Russell and Elsie BROOKS FLOHR and
attended Akron schools. He was on the Akron high school basketball team four years, becoming a
regular in the 1958-59 season. He joined the navy last May 25 following graduation from high
school.
Surviving are the mother; three sisters, Cheryl [FLOHR], at home; Mrs. Gene (Bonnie)
STREVY, Akron, and Mrs. Hillard (Judy) MITCHELL, Sandusky, O.; four brothers, Sam and
