TEW MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. July 3, 1257 No Inquest Planned In International Society Girl's Death Montmollin, Switzerland W Swiss officials said today they planned no inquest into the death of Joanne Coniclley Ortiz Patino. the international society beauty whose marital troubles made headlines for four years. The 26-year-old twice-married former cover girl was found dy ing of a heart attack early Tues day in her villa. She died soon after a Roman Catholic priest administered the last rites of the church. No Investigation Planned Informed sources said no in vestigation was planned because she had been ill for some time. The sources said she had been treated twice at a Lausanne Hospital for heart trouble, caused by taking overdoses of reducing pills. Joanne, a New York debu tante of the 1948 season whose beautiful face appeared on many magazine covers, was married first to millionaire socialite golf er Robert Sweeny in Marcn, 1949. in a Palm Beach ceremony where she was escorted by rail road tycoon Robert Young.

Intended To Visit Children She had intended to visit New York next week to see her two daughters who are in Sweeny's custody. In 1954 she married Jaime Ortiz Patino, heir to a billion dollar Bolivian tin fortune. Their life together lasted only 49 days and was followed by three years of suits and countersuits across Europe and blazing headlines throughout the world. She died just before a Swiss court was to hand down a final divorce decree in a scandal proof end to the charges of nar cotics addiction, cruelty, defam ation of character and libel.
