Fred Richmond had scrawled on his naked body in ballpoint pen: “I will always love you xoxox sin angel,” police said Wednesday The dead man, described as medium height, with dark hair and a weightlifter's body, was found locked in a bathroom, a bottle of pills nearby. Richmond. 58, who overcame a homosexual scandal to keep his seat in Congress but was forced to quit last August in a plea bargain related to other charges, was not home when the body was found Tuesday night The victim was identified ten tatively as Gregory Bergeron, 21, of East 57th Street Berger on's home address is about a block from Richmond's Sutton Place co-op apartment Pending results of an au topsy, the death was listed as suicide from an overdose of pills, said Detective Chief Rudolph Ponzini. The kind of pills was not known, he said Dr. Elliott Gross, the chief medical examiner, said after examining the body Wednesday that he would not issue a cause of death until after tests that would require from one to two weeks The dead man left two mes sages, one the scrawl on his chest that was in reverse, as if written while looking in a mirror The other was a rambling letter that Ponzini said ' was not an explicit suicide note.” The writing on his chest ap peared to be from a ballpoint pen, police said. A police source said the note "showed great emotional tur moil." Ponzini said Richmond evidently was in Washington and has not been interviewed He said police were trying to set up a meeting meRLE noRmfln The Place for the Custom Face” 20 Oakway Mall Eugene, Oregon 97401 342-4483 r 15% Offl products purchased when you receive a em mflKe-ovfR rrmenoRmfin 20 Oakway Mafil • 342-4483 ThurstUitf October 7. 1982
