2024 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Silent Scott Simon - formerly Screamin’ Scott Simon - of Sha Na Na sings his last note at 75.

Is there something suspicious about Ehmer’s death? He was only 58 and the article says “the circumstances surrounding his death have not been released at this time.” But what struck me as unusual was that the announcement came from the Atlanta Police Foundation.

Last I heard, he had developed a syrup addiction. He was mainlining quarts at a time.

So y’all are saying the authorities should quit waffling on the cause of his death?

His ashes will be scattered, chunked, smothered and diced.

The Atlanta Police Foundation is a non-profit. It’s not the police department. Ehmer was on the foundations Executive Committee.

I take it you’ve never been to a Waffle House.

Have you? What are you not telling us?

All I’m saying is that I was not at that Waffle House at that particular time.

Anything beyond that, you can speak with my attorney.

I heard he was at one of the Waffle House locations doing an inspection and one of the faulty stoves in the back fell right over on him.

Pancaked.

There’s a IHOP joke in there somewhere.

Or maybe something with abit of iron-y to it?

Maybe it is a faked death. He’s going to disappear and live off the griddle.

That’s a real “hot t(c)ake.”

Did they just pretend to be the police department when fund raising? Well, apparently not. From Wiki: The organization generated $28.1 million in 2021, a fifteen-fold increase from its 2011 revenue and the highest revenue of all the 150 similar police foundations, double that of Las Vegas Police Foundation. Revenue is often generated from corporate donations,[1] including from Roark Capital, Silver Lake Management, and restaurant company Inspire Brands.[7] Expenditure includes spending on security cameras and paying for the majority of the $90 million Cop City emergency services training centre.

IHOP there’s a joke in there somewhere.

Fixed that for you.

I have zero knowledge of the foundation beyond what I read today. Ehmer wasn’t the only business heavy hitter on the executive board.

Possible points incoming?
