Dr. Ralph H Henry, 51, chief of the physical medicine department at Allentown General Hospital died in a plunge yesterday from the Eighth Street Bridge. His body landed on a railroad spur 50 feet below.
Several witnesses including a toll collector and a half dozen passengers on an approaching trolley, said the physician stopped his automobile in the center of the bridge, walked to the railing, removed his topcoat and leaped. Sources close to the family said he had been in ill health for several years. The corner issued a certificate of death without listing a cause.
