Investigator William Crane suffered a fatal heart attack following a struggle with a suspect and seizure of evidence in Baltimore, Maryland.
He and other agents were conducting surveillance at a location on South Paca Street when they observed a suspect trying to sell liquor. As Investigator Crane attempted to arrest him the man fled on foot. Investigator Crane chased him a short distance and then struggled with him before placing him under arrest.
A short time later Investigator Crane began complaining of chest pains. He was taken to Mercy Hospital where he died a short time later.
Investigator Crane was a U.S. Army Air Forces veteran of WWII and had served with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Unit for five years. He was survived by his wife and daughter.
