Deputy Coroner J.W. Iddings and Marshal Duckworth were down to the place the next morning to investigate the death and from what they could learn there had been rather a hilarious time there Thanksgiving day and when the building took fire they were in no condition to fight the fire. Crabb was undoubtedly in a dazed condition or he could have saved himself.
The remains were shipped to his old home in South Bend for burial.
