Michael Thomas was a 40-year-old African American man from Chester, Pennsylvania who died on September 3, 1991.

The absence of digitized records from that period may be a factor; many early 1990s documents remain in physical form and could be held at local repositories such as the Delaware County Archives or the Pennsylvania State Archives. Death certificates or coroner’s reports in those holdings might clarify how he died or whether an investigation was conducted.

Does anyone have direct knowledge of Michael Thomas, his family, or records that could shed light on what happened in 1991?
