Man Responsible for Celebrity Death Hoaxes on Twitter Found Dead
By BC Bass
SAN NARCISO, Calif. -- This month, numerous headlines alleging the deaths of celebrities such as Owen Wilson, Eddie Murphy, Charlie Sheen, and Aretha Franklin have been posted on social networking sites. In every case, the obituary was proven to be a hoax. However, the individual responsible for promoting the false reports managed to drive an obscene amount of unwarranted Internet traffic to his site, proving just how effective SEO programs can be. Today, according to local police, that man has been found dead.
In cooperation with search provider Google, investigators traced the IP address to a local man in San Narciso County. But what authorities discovered at the man’s residence gave the already bizarre story an even stranger twist.
Said Frank Gloaming of the San Narciso Police Department, “I guess you could call this ironic. And not the Alanis Morissette variety, but real irony. The subject in question, whose name we’re withholding until his family is notified, was found dead in his apartment, slumped over his computer keyboard. He had a rope around his neck, which was tied to an unused weightlifting machine. I say ‘unused’ because the suspect was about 400 pounds. He also had a lemon in his mouth. But despite evidence of an auto-erotic asphyxiation mishap, oddly common in this community, the strangest part is that he appears to have been beaten to death with a snowboard. Clearly, we’ve got our work cut for us on this one.”

This story is crazy and scary. Thank you for sharing.
thanks for the info on posting links. It has been giving me fits.
No problem. You can also highlight the whole link up top, and copy and paste it.
It's still not working, won't allow me to highlight it. It only moves the tab to a different location on the bar. Sorry.
I am not sure if Mac's have this option but this is what I do to copy and paste....
Hold down shift and select the word.
Then hit the Ctrl and the letter C at the same time. It will copy it.
To paste also hit the Ctrl and the V button at the same time.
Good luck!
Here is the link to the article.
hey,
just highlight the link and press cmd-C for copy and cmd-V for paste, of just highlight the link and hit copy and then paste in the top menu of your browser.
If this does not work, you can use "drop and drag" from the window the link is posted and just place it here in your message box.
I hope it will help.
I hope they find what happened to this man.
Wow, what a death...if he IS dead...maybe it's another hoax from him <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Anyway it's strange that the moment they come to see him, he is already dead...

Lemon, snowboard, weights, etc. Too bizarre. I know they say that truth can be weirder than fiction, but this this too much.
