Stuck in a “chimbley” would not be a fun way to go.

I was born & raised here. I seem to remember something about this ‘John Doe’ having female clothing all around him, too. As if he was dressed as a girl as he disintegrated. ;)

‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ has always welcomed all kinds of weirdos. *Rolleyes*

For a long time they thought it was a prank of some sort. Now that they know who he is, I wonder if they’ll be able to find out who killed him, or if he was robbing the building (I don’t think it was always a Music Store) and trying to come down the chimney to do it?

So many questions! ;)

This article was short of a key detail. When did he disappear?

Discovered in the chimney in 1989, after... 10 years? 20?

At least from the looks of it, he died of the flue.

Drunk or drugged up.

Not certain, but likely.

No, not a good way to go. I have heard of it happening before. In fact, maybe 6 or 7 years ago, I got a Freep post from someone saying (if I recall correctly) that the guy found dead in a chimney, was not a criminal. I doubt it was THIS episode, but who knows for sure? The poster had signed up to FR that very day. I doubt I was the only one who got a post about this, that day. I doubt the person is still on FR.

They are still attempting to figure out where and when he died.

It would be an unusual way to dispose of a body...

>>he died of the flue.

I suspected it was from smoking or exhaustion.

Perhaps the logic was that if he were wearing a soot, nobody gonna recognize...

There's Diana's intel in post 3, that he was all dolled up with no place to go.

Thus he may have had a sudden reason to go into hiding.

“Thus he may have had a sudden reason to go into hiding.”

Two failed marriages that produced children. Behind on support payments? Don a dress and jump down a chimney!

Follow me for MORE legal advice. ;)

So maybe he was angling to stiff the exes by stuffing himself down a chimney?

Well, it’s better than if a morterer were still running around on the loose.
