I had no idea Merton died that way. His Seven Story Mountain is an inspiring read.

"Death by Misadventure" at a Catholic religious conference. Worthy of Agatha Christie, Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. Murder Most Catholic???

We read Merton's Seven Storey Mountain at a theology course at Georgetown. The Jesuit professor mentioned Merton's unusual death. I did NOT know about the individuals reported to have seen him alive last. That's rather bizarre.
