The Detroit Public Library does. You can go there, send them a request in an envelope or post a request on the Wayne County Genforum board.
Before you do, you should have an exact date. I look up obits for people in my county. Obituaries come out 0 - 7 days after the death. I find I can read 10 - 14 days worth of newspapers before I get seasick.

No one is going to wade through 3 years of newspaper on microfilm for you unless they love you very much or you pay them.

The library may have a death index. Whatever paper was in Detroit back then may have an article index. The state of Michigan probably required death certificates back then. Those are three ways to get an exact date.

If you live near a really big university library, they may have the newspapers, and may let you use them on their premises even though you are not a student.

UC Berkeley is an example, although atypical. It is second only to the Library of Congress and Yale; they have thousands of newspapers on microfilm, including the Chicago Tribune and the Hindustani Times.
