On September 25, 1950, in Woodstock, he committed suicide at age 40 by slitting his wrist and ankle with a razor. He then walked downnstairs and expired by the front door of his cottage.[2] These lines were found among his effects after his death: "Never let it be said of O'Neill that he failed to empty a bottle. Ave atque vale [hail and farewell]." Shortly before his death, he had played the lead in a local theatrical production for the benefit of the local artists' colony. His body was discovered by a friend the morning after his suicide.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book | url=http://mssa.library.yale.edu/obituary_record/1925_1952/1950-51.pdf | title=Obituary Record of Graduates of the Undergraduate Schools Deceased During the Year 1950-1951 |series=Bulletin of Yale University|volume=48|issue=1|pages=94| accessdate=2011-04-28 | date=January 1, 1952}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news | title=Eugene O'Neill Jr. Is Found a Suicide | work=New York Times | date=September 26, 1950 | pages=21}} External links
