BOSTON -- The grandson of pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock died shortly after he was found with head wounds in a parking lot at Boston's Children Museum. Police said they were treating the death as a suicide.
Peter Spock, 22, was found at 2:25 p.m. Sunday in a parking lot next to the museum on Boston's waterfront, police said.
'It's being treated as a suicide unless we find something to the contrary,' said police spokesman Tom Santry.
He said no foul play was suspected.
The Boston Herald reported today that Spock apparently jumped from the 5 -story building.
Spock, a student at the University of Massachusetts-Boston campus, worked as a watchman at the museum. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he died a short time later, police said.
Police said they were awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
Spock was the son of Michael Spock of Lincoln, the director of the Children's Museum. His grandfather's books on child rearing, including 'Baby and Child Care,' guided an entire generation of parents after World War II.
