His sister, Mary, had possession of the stuffed pheasant and kept it on top of a flat corrugated cardboard closet. One night while Mary was lying on her bed, the pheasant fell over. Mary thought nothing of this event until she later got word that her brother, Frank, had died at 7 pm that very same day the bird had fallen over.
