    AUTOPSY SHOWS BLOSSOM GAY DIED NATURALLY
    PHYSICIAN-HUSBAND HAD FOUND SINGER DEAD IN HER HOME
    Death of Luetta Virginia McMurray, wife of Pittsburgh physician and former night club and radio entertainer, was due to natural causes, the morgue reported yesterday after an autopsy.
    Mrs. McMurray, 28, whose professional name was Blossom Gay, was found dead in bed in her home in Wellington Apartment, 245 Melwood Street, Tuesday morning, by her husband, Dr. Thomas E. McMurray, Jr., 37, according to county detectives.
    The autopsy was performed by the coroner's physician on request of Mrs. McMurray's mother, Mrs. S. E. Sutton, of Salem, W.Va. The morgue report said death was due to acute gastro enteritis. The body was taken to Salem yesterday for burial.
    The attractive young singer was reported engaged to John Champ Neely, the son of former United States Senator M. M. Neely, of West Virginia, in 1936.
    But eight days after he announced the engagement, young Neely announced the planned marriage was off. At the time it was reported Neely's father opposed the match.
    Miss Gay married Robert Taylor of Pittsburgh in 1938. He died two years ago and she and Dr. McMurray were married last February.
