    It was undetermined if his death was a result of murder or suicide. An autopsy was unable to determine the cause of death with certainty. His death was caused by a blow to the head with a long handled axe, and although the wound was severe, he actually bled to death as his brain was unaffected.
    Puffer was erratic in his behavior, addicted to alcohol, and want to suspect that people were following him, according to neighbors.
    He lived in a shack on the banks of the Cole's river, Wilbur Avenue, South Swansea, MA. There was no sign of a struggle in his room.
