Louis Joseph Vance Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Louis Joseph Vance (September 19, 1879–December 16, 1933) was an American novelist, born in Washington, D. C., and educated in the preparatory department of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He wrote short stories and verse after 1901, then composed many popular novels. His character "Michael Lanyard", also known as "The Lone Wolf", was featured in eight books and 24 films between 1914 and 1949, and also appeared in radio and television series.Vance was separated from his wife (whom he married in 1898 and by whom he had a son the next year) when he was found dead in a burnt armchair inside his New York apartment; a cigarette had ignited some benzene (used for cleaning his clothes or for his broken jaw) that he had on his body and he was intoxicated at the time. He had recently returned from the West Indies, where he gathered material for a new book. The death was ruled accidental.
Vance's death was mysterious -- officially ruled an accident, but it was rumored by some that he died of spontaneous human combustion. Family members testified that he had a bad habit of falling asleep while smoking, and the chief medical officer reported that he was intoxicated with "three plus ethyl alcohol" in his brain at the time of death. The mysteries surrounding Vance's death include the facts that his head and torso were very badly burned, yet he suffered few burns below his waist, though he was wearing no shoes, and that none of the furniture in the room where he died had caught on fire except for his chair.
