What happened next has exploded some of the longest-held beliefs about the origins of Superman and the two teenage boys, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who invented America's best-known comic-book hero. But the coroner, the police and Siegel's wife said Siegel died of a heart attack. The police report mentions a gunshot being heard. In the commotion of the robbery, Siegel, 60, fell to the ground and died. One asked to see a suit of clothes and walked out without paying for it. According to a police report, three men entered. It was Thursday night, about 8:10 p.m., and Mitchell Siegel, a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania, was in his secondhand clothing store on the near East Side. On the night of June 2, 1932, the world's first superhero was born - not on the mythical planet of Krypton but from a little-known tragedy on the streets of Cleveland.
