From the June 4, 1891 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“A man was found Tuesday afternoon in an outhouse at Bethpage, L.I. almost dead from exhaustion. He had been there for three days and could not get out because he lacked physical strength. No one in the vicinity knew him. He was taken to a private house and a doctor was summoned from Farmingdale, but before he arrived the strange man was dead. The cause of death has not been determined, but there are no indications of foul play.”
