Fatal fortune : the death of Chicago's millionaire orphan
"In December 1924 - just eight months after reaching his majority and inheriting a substantial estate - 21-year-old William "Billy" McClintock died of an unusually virulent form of typhoid fever. He was mourned by his fiancee, Isabelle Pope, who sought unsuccessfully to rally her love by marrying him on his deathbed. Shortly after Billy's funeral, questions arose as to the cause of death, with insinuations of foul play based, in part, on the fact that in April, McClintock had signed a will drafted by one of his guardians, lawyer William D. Shepherd - a will which left everything to Shepherd, but only if Billy died before his planned February 1925 wedding to Isabelle
