Kennedy witness is apparent suicide { March 30 1977 } NEW YORK TIMES MARCH 30, 1977, P 18 Kennedy Inquiry Witness Is an Apparent Suicide In a Mansion in Florida PALM BEACH, Fla. Wednesday, March 30 (UPI)- A language professor described as "intimately involved" with Lee Harvey Oswald and a "crucial witness" in the congressional investigation of President Kennedy's assassination was found dead yesterday, an apparent suicide. Palm Beach County Sheriff Richard Wille identified the victim as George de Mohrenschildt, 65 years old, a flamboyant Russian-born teacher of French at Bishop-College in Dallas. Mr. Wille said that Mr. de Mohrenschildt, a guest at the ocean front mansion in suburban Manalapan, Fla., of Mrs. Charles Tilton III, apparently placed the muzzle of a 20 gauge shotgun to his mouth and pulled the trigger. Mr. De Mohrenschildt had been quoted by a Dutch journalist, WIlliam Oltmans, about three weeks ago as saying he had prior knowledge of the Kennedy assassination, Mr. Oltman had reported. "He [de Mohrenschildt] asked me 'how do you think the media would react if I came out and said I feel responsible for Oswald's behavior?' " When informed late last night of the death, Representative Richardson Preyer, Democrat of North Caroline, who is a member of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, said, "He was a crucial witness for us, based on the new information he had. He was intimately involved with Oswald." Sheriff Wille said it appeared that Mr. de Mohrenschildt had returned to the Tilton home about 2:45 PM to learn that Gaeton J. Fonzi, a staff investigator for the assassinations committee, had been trying to reach him. Mr. Fonzi was believed to have placed the call from Miami. About an hour later, Sheriff Wille said, Mr. de Mohrenschildt apparently shot himself. "We're 99 percent certain he killed himself," the sheriff said. The Tilton home remained sealed off by sheriff deputies Tuesday night.
