In Marina del rey there was a man who was shot in the head and lying outside on the balcony of his apartment. It took four days to notify the cops because they thought it was a sick Halloween prank. Jerry McKibben from the LA county departmentof Coroner says, "... Everything is pointing to it being a suicide."
This article is pretty short but it tells a lot of information. I think this was a halloween stunt. The man was 75 years old and he probably wanted to go out with a bang. I don't get how the neighbors didn't notice that the dead person was real and not some doll.

ReplyDeleteI think that sometimes people go at extreme measures to make Halloween pranks and such. I think it's hard to believe that no one noticed it was a real dead person. I hope that when people read the article consider that a dead person lying on the floor is not a good Halloween prank.
ReplyDeleteIts A Sick World We Live In. Like You Said...The Man Probably Wanted To Just Go Out With A Bang. I Don't Understand How People Wouldn't Mistake It For Being A Dummy Though.
ReplyDeleteWhile this was a pretty big local story, I would have liked for you to provide a broader summary of the story. I'd also like you to analyze this more. What does it say about society that a person can be dead for days without anyone noticing? What is it about this story that fascinates us? Shouldn't the news have more answers (like if it really was a prank or if it was suicide, etc) before hypothesizing?
