In the 1960s the principal of this school at Falls Church, Virginia had a massive heart attack and died in his office.

Caretakers and staff report seeing him in the corridors after hours, and they are specific about what he appears to be doing. He is looking for troublemakers, which is what he did while he was alive.

Doors are also heard shutting.

A head teacher patrolling corridors is one of the most fitting outcomes in this archive, and it is entirely characteristic of how workplace accounts describe people. They do not wander or wail. They carry on with the job.

A man who died at his desk in the middle of a working day is also the most ordinary death in this whole collection, and one of the very few that needed no violence, no fire and no fall.

The school is in use.
