The Courant printed a letter to the editor today that agreed with the article published yesterday that called for an investigation into John Voorhees’s death.

  1. According to the letter
    • An investigation into Voorhees’s death was planned
    • The neglect Voorhees suffered caused his death
  2. The letter corrected the editorial’s assertion that Voorhees had been forced to remain on the La France for several days.
  3. The letter was signed “Informed” and dated January 13.

I’ve so far been unable to find any evidence that anyone, official or otherwise, mounted an investigation into Voorhees’s death.
