Lynn authorities yesterday ruled Dr. Albert H. Cover a suicide on the basis of the testimony of Dr. Richard Ford, acting head of the Department of Legal Medicine. Cover, 53-year-old Nahant specialist, was found dead in his car last week after the baby sitters who had stolen $20,000 from his home were caught in New York City.
Ford said the death was "suicide by morphine poisoning during a state of depression." Covner had been worried about the money and publicity, and was bothered by the pranksters who constantly called his home to ask if he wanted a baby sitter.
A vial of nitroglycerine, a potent heart stimulant, was found near the doctor's body, as well as several bottles of pills.
