Janet, I can't access the page in the link as my subscription doesn't allow it.
Does the image actually say that or is it a mistranscription? |

I'm looking at Ancestry's transcription, Elizabeth. I've highlighted the line in bold now in my original post. I suspect a mistranscription, as I'm sure do you! Thanks for looking.

Have found original scans on Ancestry of the admin dated 21 June 1905, wherein it stated that "said deceased died a natural death"; so I remain clueless. Thanks again, Elizabeth.

I have no idea what the original could have said, but I have another question. What do they mean by "This collection consists of robust indexes to deaths"?

New York Times 18 June 1905
Jacob Debus, an engineer, sixty-three years old, of 386 South Third Street, Williamsburg, was found dead early yesterday morning at his home. He had shot himself in the head with a revolver. Debus was a widower, and a married son and daughter-in-law kept house for him. He always sat in an old armchair that belonged to his wife. On Friday night the son and daughter-in-law went out, leaving Debus alone. He was cheerful when they went away. On their return at midnight they found him dead.

Might the transcription be of 'pistol shot'?
