Poor Lou. He had such a life and such a tragic end.

I have done 3 years of research on his life. He haunts me.

His looks gone. His women gone. His career gone. His health gone...it appears all hope was gone also.

He took a pair of sheers, and stabbed himself in the heart 7 times. When found by Mrs. J.P Cuhday's servant, he was still alive, but could not speak. The man servant went across the street to get the doctor,too late for Lou.

Mrs. J.P. Cudahy, the widow of J.P. Cudahy, of meat packing fame. (Mr J.P Cudahy also committed suicide)

Lou was cremated and his ashes were scattered at sea.
