First Secretary of Defense: the doomed James Forrestal

I'm considering purchasing this signed photo of the first Secretary of Defense James Forrestal who supposedly committed suicide while a patient in Bethesda Naval Hospital in 1947 by jumping from an upper story window.

It doesn't match known example from 1942 when he was Sec of Navy.

Thanks, Shaggy67. Even to my untrained eye, it didn't look right. There is an uncharacteristic break in his last name that looked wrong. I appreciate your help.
