editor Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Harris County Medical Examiner sent over another flyer for another unknown dead person. This one looks like a teen-ager. If you know who he is, give the police a call. (Note -- there's a picture of the dead guy in the flyer, so if you're squeamish about seeing dead people, don't open the attachment.)

I clicked on it and was looking out of the corner of my eye until I saw that it was all clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 I've looked at a few over the years.I could tell a story about seeing half a torso being pulled out of the Big Ugly river from back when I was a reporter (hint: don't pull by the arms), but I'll keep the gory details to myself.

PapillionWyngs Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Wow. It sounds from the description that he was affluent (Kincaid shorts, the clothes he was wearing, bike, etc.) Wonder why Mommy and Daddy aren't looking for him? This is so sad. I have a 15 year old and a 16 year old, so this hits close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porchman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 This is really sad.On a side note, this complex houses Bush 41's office as well as Culberson's Houston office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why yes you did, in fact. You described it as being a well cooked chicken being pulled apart. Yummy in my tummy! Thanks for the reminder.

houstonmacbro Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've looked at a few over the years.Me too ... worked for DC Metropolitan Police for a bit. Man, some of the photos I've seen make this look like a Disney rendering.Sorry I don't have anything subjective to add to the investigation, but feel even more sorry for this person's family and friends (and all the family and friends of others who are victims of crimes).

Porchman Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) The body has been identified.The obituary for William Bracken. Had it not been for the picture, I would not have noticed it.Not to sound too morose about this, but there have been a lot of news stories about kids dying around here lately, and it's sort of bugged me. Perhaps, because it particularly poignant when families have to bury a child at the Holidays. There's my bit of cheer for this foggy morning. Aplologies.

TJones Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Interesting, that's a dead-end with fenced off businesses. I wonder if he was fleeing someone.Perhaps he was dumped there, seeing as how it is a dead-end and fenced off around businesses that would be closed, depending on what time the body there.

Police and forensic anthropologists spent the last two days looking for the boy's identity after he was found by someone walking past the building on Sunday. Police are still investigating the case, but say the boy may have jumped off a five story parking garage. However, they are not calling it a suicide. At this point they are not ruling out anything, and neither is the medical examiner's office. "The cause and manner of death is pending further investigation. At this time, we really don't have a clear picture of what happened at the time of death," said Dr. Erin Love, Harris County Medical Examiner's Office.
