So tragic.
Please look over what you post. This article is full of mistakes, the worst one is that is says the victim reached out to police to locate him!
I agree with #1 on both counts. The sentence, “investigators believe the death was not natural” is particularly irking. Ya think? The poor fellow had two zip ties around his neck!
