The Star has learned that she was Dorothea Mae Elliott, 19 years old. She shot herself early in the morning of Wednesday March 11, 1953 and died 22 hours later at St. Michael's Hospital. Her death didn't garner much attention from the newspapers of the day. The long-defunct Toronto Telegram ran a brief item on March 11, which reported that police were checking a story that the "attractive young brunette may have been despondent over a love affair." The Telegram didn't follow-up on the story. But the Toronto Daily Star, as The Star was then known, ran a three-paragraph item on page 14 the next day that announced her death, citing the cause as loneliness because her boyfriend had left her to "take a job on the boats." http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/718662--hockey-hall-of-fame-ghost-revealed-at-last Oct 09 10, 9:37 AM
