Miss Kirk Simpson, winter resident of Flagler Beach for a number of years, was found dead in a room at the Hamilton hotel in Daytona Beach Tuesday. She had gone to the hotel only a few days previously.

According to information from Daytona Beach, a whimpering dog in a closed car in front of the hotel caused hotel employees to force open the door of the room. They found Miss Simpson dead in her bed.

The dead woman has a brother living at Radford, Va., and who has been notified of his sister’s death. The body is being held by Baggett, Wetherby and McIntosh funeral home in Daytona Beach.
