From Mass.-
The Rev. Philip C. Douglas, longtime rector of Grace Episcopal Church who retired from active ministry in 1988, died Thursday in a car accident on Hawthorn Street. Douglas, 88, was driving toward County Street around 8:13 a.m. when he rear-ended a vehicle, police said.
However, the accident was not catastrophic, leading police to believe he may have been in medical distress before the crash. Paramedics were unable to revive Douglas at the scene. He was later pronounced dead at St. Luke's Hospital. "We're not sure if it was a heart attack or a blackout.
We don't know what happened," said Susan Knight, one of Douglas' three daughters, who remembered her father as a deeply spiritual man who cared about his family and the community. "He never wanted the recognition. He just wanted to help people without bringing attention to himself," said daughter Nancy Foster.
