Description
George Bald Eagles's half-brother John LaFramboise persuaded Bald Eagle into drinking Vodka with him. When George's wife found her husband drunk she stormed out of the house in anger; leaving her five children under Bald Eagles' care. Passbyeres recalled that he reeked of alcohol and was trying to stoke the fire before leaving to go to his sister-in-law's house. The house caught on fire and all five of Bald Eagles's children had died.
