Les Holt, 21 of 418 Gladstone Avenue, died in the dentist’s chair of Dr. Percy Nesbitt at the Booth Building in Ottawa while undergoing a number of extractions.

Dr. Nesbitt told police he had put Holt under nitrous oxide at 8:45 preparing to extract 12 teeth. About nine o’clock, having pulled 10 teeth he saw Holt suddenly change colour.

He immediately cut off the nitrous oxide and switched to pure oxygen. Dr. Nesbitt and his nurse called the Ottawa Fire Department emergency car. Dr. Shirreff arrived and pronounced the young man was dead.

Detective Fred Syms and Detective Robert Smith are continuing investigation. Mr. Holt was born and educated at Ladysmith Quebec and was married with two children.
