Apparently, and oddly so, this isn't that uncommon.

I reference a female physician who, 14 years ago, died and was found in a chimney of her Bakersfield, CA boyfriend.

Yeah, weird. I guess she was shunned, and she was just bound and determined to get to him one way or the other. Terrible way to die, she was asphyxiated..... Dr Dies in Chimney

I don’t think it was always a Music Store

Good'nLoud moved to the University Avenue location in 1989 and closed that location in 2010.

Before 1989 it had been the Bread Shop, a Christian bookstore.

The Madison Police and DNA Doe Project have identified skeletal remains found
in a chimney in a music store in 1989.

What's really sad is that nobody knew where he was holed up for all of these years -- address unknown -- even though it was written all over his mail:

"Return to Cinder"

Thanks Diana in Wisconsin. Looks like another tragic Store Santa story gone wrong.

[SunkenCiv]

LOLOL!

[SunkenCiv]

See, that’s two.

I’m laughing hard, and feeling bad that I don’t feel worse. :^D

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

This poor bastard can’t catch a break.

Aaugh! 😂

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

Should have taken the Clot Shot!

The intel is so obvious in retrospect, innit though?

"DNA Doe Project", I mean come on, it should be written like it sounds:

DNA D'oh Project

Talk about lost in translation,

hidden in a music store chimney, no less. Who doesn't remember what Maria taught, right there out of the Sound of Music? The Sound of Music! D'oh..

"Now children, Do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song. Once you have these notes in your heads you can sing a million different tunes, by mixing them up. Like this!"

(When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most any thing. Doe, a deer...)

Freaky stuff, because everyone also knows that she had been running around with that sketchy chimney sweep.

(It's a Dirty Job!)

Thread Winner! :)

There were certainly the tells in 1964 that he’d go bad. Remember in 1974, how he couldn’t tell the time? Tripped him right up! Nothing got by Columbo:

“Paul Galesko is a famous photographer married to Frances, a nagging woman and a grumbler. Paul is in love with his assistant, Lorna, so he decides to stage a fatal abduction of his wife. Everything seems to go very well to Paul, and the police accept his version of the events, but Lt. Columbo has some doubt.”

As everyone knows, only the good die young:

Born Richard Wayne Van Dyke
December 13, 1925 (age 98)
