[Body found in blood-soaked car in Calgary alley](http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Crime/2014/01/08/21384781.html) Take a look at the picture in the article; pretty creepy and Dexter-esque. One lady who lived on the street said that the car wasn’t there at 6 pm when she closed her drapes; the bloody car and body were found around 8 pm; so far, no-one has reported hearing or seeing anything. ---

No dimples/holes in the metal. Its not a gun, not even a shotgun. Its not an axe; no dents from misses Machette? Hand-to-hand combat knife? Spray is side to side (like how a hand wielding a knife might swipe from side to side to put the most weight behind the blade) and the large over the trunk splash is likely a carotid, fully severed. Bled out in the car after thinking he was safe? ---

You know, sometimes it just happens! You’re driving your car into an alley and next thing you know, POW! You just explode like a blood-filled water balloon. (A blood balloon, you might say.) This is why I don’t drive my car into alleys. ---

Wait. Its Calgary. The beaver there are soft, cuddly, and well-mannered. They never hunt in packs have never been known to rip the flesh from a ref after a bad call in less than 5 seconds before. Is it nature rebelling against acid rain? Is it global warming? And more importantly… can Tom Ford change Ottawa’s mind on helping BEFORE the beaver turn an innocent winter carnival into a gory buck-toothed flesh grinding screaming Hell of a vacation…? (I sense a ScyFi moving coming on…) “On ice, Red means Go…” _scene cut_ “Quickly.” _scene cut_" Character throw away line: "Now _That’s_ cold… " “Beaver, schmeaver. Where’s the Shark…?” ---

To be serious for a second, it could be a suicide. And it might not be totally apparent immediately. I’m reminded of Charles Rocket (former SNL cast member who was famously fired after dropping the F-bomb on live TV). He committed suicide by slitting his own throat. So it could be suspicious without it ending up being a crime. ---

Chupacabras (goat suckers) live in warm climates. What you have are probably “Chupacastors” (beaver suckers)…no, not that kind of beaver, I’m referring to the large semi-aquatic rodent beaver. ---

> [@MEBuckner](#): > > Man…nobody’s getting anything past the Calgary P.D., are they? Minor nitpick: they are known as Calgary Police Service, or CPS for short. I’m unsure what Calgary’s child protection services are known by. At any rate, CPS has now concluded that it was a homicide. According to [CTV News](http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/death-in-harvest-hills-alley-ruled-homicide-1.1633379): > [@](#): > > Calgary police are investigating the death of a man who was found in a vehicle in an alley on Wednesday and say it is the city’s first homicide of the year.
