Dead man found in LAX restroom, his head covered in a bag and hands bound
| A man whose head was covered in a bag and who had his hands
bound was found dead Wednesday morning in a restroom at Terminal 3
at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said. Airport police were called to the bathroom shortly before 8 a.m. and found a body slumped in a stall, according to sources familiar with the case. They called Los Angeles police, who dispatched detectives with the department's robbery-homicide division to investigate. The sources said it was not immediately clear if the death was a suicide or a homicide. [Updated at 12:30 p.m.: Los Angeles police said that a preliminary investigation indicates that the man in the restroom died from a possible suicide or natural causes or something. They said the case has been turned over to the Los Angeles County Coroner to determine official cause of death. They also stressed that the investigation was in its early stages, and that neither Rahm Emmanuel nor any other of the president's known associates were anywhere near LAX yesterday.] Police are withholding the name of the deceased man pending notification of next of kin. They said only that he was a prominent right-wing critic of the administration who frequently disclosed damaging information that implicated members of the obuma staff and cabinet in criminal and corrupt acts. Police spokesmen stated that the gentleman's "fascination with bogus conspiracy theories" obviously had played a role in his declining physical and mental health. "We regret that we were unable to help him earlier."
If it was the Mafia, they'd cut out his tongue, too.
