umm, Lou?

ImRonBurgundy		2010-10-11 09:21:55 AM

Looks like he met my old boss.

H31N0US		2010-10-11 09:23:37 AM

Should have been more careful about where he fell over

YakBoy42		2010-10-11 09:27:04 AM

Yes, the police said he fell down an elevator shaft. Onto some bullets.
You know, I've always suspected a bit of foul play there.

PsyLord		2010-10-11 09:29:23 AM

Was he last spotted dancing with her at a disco bar?

If pigs were smart the wouldn't be allowed on the force.

schattenteufel		2010-10-11 09:34:08 AM

Maybe is was suicide.
He coulda' thrown the knife up in the air & then bent over real fast.

ccsdc83		2010-10-11 09:34:22 AM

Took a real stab in the dark trying to find out this mystery.

You'll get a few bites, I'm sure.

T'is but a scratch.

PDX Ghost Hunter		2010-10-11 09:40:57 AM

Found lying on his back with a 5" knife stuck in his back? But how?

gregory311		2010-10-11 09:40:59 AM

Killed in December of 2009, found in January 2010, report in October 2010?

WTF?

Ponzholio		2010-10-11 09:45:27 AM

Just sprinkle some crack on him and call it a drug deal gone bad...

abfalter		2010-10-11 09:45:28 AM

He's been murdered!

No, he hasn't!

Look, there is a knife sticking right out of his back!

No it's not!

Yes! It's right there!

Perhaps he was just resting on the knife...

Look, mate. This man has been murdered. Killed. Assassinated. Rubbed out. If he wasn't sitting in a chair he'd have been pushing up the daisies and gone to join the choir invisible!

erik316wttn		2010-10-11 09:45:59 AM

The Undertaker stabbed someone?

WTF is that picture in the center of the article? Elf with thick glasses???

Bob16: If pigs were smart the wouldn't be allowed on the force.

Yeah, they should have used their X-ray vision to see the knife in his back. Sheesh...

Apparantly PC Shiny Buttons has made detective.

Yeah that..... or carried out an investigation of a dead man.
Backing the wrong horse in this one 12.

"Leslie Tiller was FARKING murdered!"
"Just like Tim Messenger?"
"Yes!"
"George Merchant?"
"Yes!"
"And Eve Draper?"
"Yes!"
"Martin Blower?"
"No, actually."
"Really?"
"OF COURSE HE FARKING WAS!!!"

Well, if you RTFA you'll see this is actually from January. They're re-running the article because they still haven't caught the killer.

What I find kinda funny is that they run forensic tests for 3 days, but only after the undertakers arrive on scene and find the knife. Who knows how much evidence they destroyed/tainted in that interim. No wonder they haven't found the guy yet.

Nightsweat		2010-10-11 10:24:04 AM

I really AM ruggedly handsome.

SnarfVader		2010-10-11 10:31:16 AM

That's not a knife!

Sybarite		2010-10-11 10:34:03 AM

He died of natural causes. When someone shoves a knife all the way into you, it's perfectly natural to die.

Jackpot777		2010-10-11 10:51:26 AM

The undertaker then said, "uh, I'm sorry but if you guys want to come walking in here I'm going to have to see some ID..."

Did they have to use a photo of the coroner from a surveillance camera?

I think that's the dead dude.

When I joined the Police in the mid 70's, I was sent to a few sudden deaths - I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to be doing beyond taking details for the forms I had to complete.

After about a year someone happened to come with me to one and told me that I was supposed to look underneath for a knife or bullet hole or something.

Getting a kick etc.

danno_to_infinity		2010-10-11 12:25:16 PM

what, not one single picture or reference to Chief Inspector Clouseau? and don't even say which one, Steve Martin did no justice to Peter Sellers' thespian genius.

Yeah, they should have used their X-ray vision to see the knife in his back. Sheesh...

one would think the large puddle of blood that used to be inside the deceased would be a tip-off to pursue the investigation further...but hey, what do I know...

Det Con Linda Robb said: "That is true. I think because of the flat being in darkness and him lying on his back there was no outward sign of anything untoward."

That could never happen here on this side of the pond...our Police have these magic things called flashlights, and our "flats" have electric lights.

Maybe they should have INVESTIGATED. I forget that is not in their job description anymore.

Grables'Daughter		2010-10-11 01:17:01 PM

FTA: "Det Chief Insp Dave Chewter has appealed for anyone with information on the murder to come forward."

Yes. That would definitely make their jobs even easier.

Or flipped him over. Sheesh...

untaken_name		2010-10-11 02:29:06 PM

I don't think the cops were stupid. My theory is that a cop put the knife there. Then hid behind the blue wall. Guy musta not paid his protection money or maybe he sold a cop some bunk or something.

CK2005		2010-10-11 02:35:19 PM

Undertakers.

Yup.. that's what I was thinking.

CruiserTwelve		2010-10-11 04:58:51 PM

Sin_City_Superhero: Or flipped him over. Sheesh...

Once the guy's been declared dead, the coroner has jurisdiction over the body. The cops can't touch it until the coroner arrives. So the cops get there, see the guys been dead at least several days and wait for the coroner to arrive. The cops can't see the knife in the guy's back because he's laying on it. Coroner gets there, rolls the guy over and finds the knife.

I suspect the issue was that the cops at first treated the scene as a natural death and not a homicide. Once the coroner got there they changed that. Not nearly as big a deal as some seem to think, and not a result of police incompetence. Sometimes things don't appear to be what they really are at first, particularly at a homicide scene.
