Can't Find Home
Chicago Man
Hangs Himself
CHICAGO, (/Pi — Since last
spring Raymond Thill. 41, spent
most of his spare time hunting for
a place to live for his wife and >;x
young children.
He always received the same
discouraging answer from land
lards: “No. we couldn't possibly
rent to anyone with six child on."'
After Thill's family had been
evicted from their home last
spring, he succeeded in finding a !
one-room flat for his wife and i
their baby son of less than a year.
Four other children were sent to
a children’s home and the eldest I
child. Raymond, Jr., 12. went to j
the country and lived with rela-j
tives.
The boy returned to the one
room flat when school reopened
and Thill slept in one of the park
ed vans owned by the storage ‘
company where he was employed. I
Earlier this week the children's:
home advised him he must fine, a j
place for his four children or the ,
home would start court a b on to
declare them abandoned.
Yesterday Rogers Park police
were called to the storage com
pany after employees had found,
Thill’s body hanging from a rope
from an upper beam of a narked
van.
