Joseph LAZARUS

Joseph Lazarus competed at the 1924 Olympics as a boxer, winning one match but losing his second bout. He later became an insurance broker but died a tragic death. In 1943 he was trying to break up a street brawl between one of his clients and two British merchant seamen. One of the sailors punched Lazarus, knocking him through a drugstore window. The window shattered and cut an artery in his thigh and he bled to death.
