Bob Carson Found Dead In Cabin At Saline Lake Camp
Bob Carson, 46, owner of a furniture store in Many, was found dead in
his cabin at the Collins and Irvin fishing camp about noon Thursday,
according to the Winn Parish sheriff's department.
He had been dead from nine to 14 hours and cause of his death was not
determined by Dr. George M. Rodgers, deputy Winn Parish coroner,
according to Miley Walsworth, deputy sheriff who accompanied the doctor
on the investigation.
Carson arrived alone at the camp Wednesday morning and told Mrs. Roy
Collins there that he planned to fish for about two hours, but that he
returned to his cabin about an hour later, Deputy Sheriff Walsworth
quoted Mrs. Collins as saying. Shortly before noon today Mrs. Collins
and her husband, noticing that Carson's car was still parked near his
cabin, decided to investigate and upon entering the cabin they found
Carson dead in his bed, apparently having retired.
Funeral arrangements were not known here. Carson was a native of
Jonesboro, it was reported.
