CANADA CA - Janet Smith's Murder, Toronto, 26 July 1924

[Abbey Macey]

Janet Smith was found dead on July 26th, 1924. She was found by the houseboy, Wong Foon Sing, with a bullet wound above her right eye. Initially, her death was ruled a suicide, but the ruling was changed to murder.
Some believe she was killed because of her employers shady business, others believe it was the houseboy who found her.
Help me figure this out!
