Police are investigating after a man was found dead near a busy Miami intersection early Sunday morning.
Oscar Aguilera first found the man's body on a sidewalk at Biscayne Boulevard and 81st Street around 7 a.m.
"I saw him not moving and puddle of blood," Aguilera said. "I went and checked and saw when his eyes were wide open."
The victim was later identified as 22-year-old Shaun Cole, a Scottish soldier who was in town with friends for the Ultra Music Festival.
Cole served in the 1st Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (1SCOTS) and had served in Afghanistan and had recently returned from Sierra Leone where soldiers have been involved in the Ebola aid effort. "The men and women of 1SCOTS are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of Private Shaun Cole," Commanding Officer Lt. Colonel Matt Munro said in a statement. "Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Shaun's family at this desperately difficult time."
Police cordoned off two blocks on Biscayne for six hours as they investigated. Detectives consider the death unclassified, but have not yet said what happened to the victim.
A nearby gym turned over surveillance footage to police, and a red light camera may have also captured the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477).
For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called...
Ultra Music Festival - outdoor electronic music festival
I have a tip for them. Ten to one the perp is someone who looks like Obama's son.
I get a kick out of “The First 48”....wifey leaves the room if I have it on - she’s ghetto’d out, I suppose.
I guess they don’t need to bother investigating then.
If Confessor Gonzales gets the case, it’s a slam dunk.
Seriously, there’s something unjust about defending freedom on the far side of the world, then to come to Miami and get killed, most likely for something stupid like a few bucks or a cell phone.
Did he stumble upon some “students” on “spring break”?
I have a pretty good idea, and my psychic powers disclose to me what the perp looks like.
Scottish Soldier? Haggis Toxemia?
A SCOTTISH SOLDIER
Andy Stewart
There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder with good broad shoulder
He fought many affray, and fought and won
He’d seen the glory, he’d told the story Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
But now he’s sighing, his heart is crying To leave those green hills of Tyrol
(Chorus)Because those green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, they’re not my land’s hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home
No, of course not, they still have to figure out which son it is.

‘’McDougall’s dead. He fell into a vat of whisky.’’
‘’What a shame. Was it a quick death?’’
‘’I don’t think so. He came out twice to go to the bathroom!’’
Sounds like some high spirited youths got carried away playing their game.

I feel bad for him, but one MUST STILL BE CAREFUL before parading around a in a SKIRT, regardless of whether it is the official military uniform for all 73 people of their armed forces.
Incredible, you are mocking this soldier’s death.
Nah, just realistic.
