"Death"

That's the best that you can do?

And you're too lazy to even note that "8600 Old Georgetown Road" is Suburban Hospital.

I'll repeat my weekly comment regarding this section. You present the worst format for such important information here, lacking any descriptive facts concerning the crime committed. Who,what, and when, are as important as where. If other "credible" news reports can given this information, why not you. You think your such great, give us the details. I'm glad you were called out on the ridiculous posting, "8600 Old Georgetown Road", are you sure is wasn't multiple deaths?

8:59: You continue to embarrass yourself. There are no "descriptive facts" given in Montgomery County crime data. Your complaint is entirely with county government in that regard.

My crime reports are highly useful for residents, even with the limitations of the County data.

Just in the last few weeks alone, I've reported on several crime sprees that were ongoing in specific neighborhoods. That provided a valuable community alert, so that residents could take proactive steps to protect their vehicles and property.

Your assertion that hearing about these crime spikes weeks later - and in highly-edited form - from these vaunted "other" media outlets, is simply laughable.

I like my police blotter a few weeks old. It ages like a fine scotch.

Dyer is too up-to-date for me. Dang Internet!

2:50: Nothing yet proves it was "in" a hospital. But the police must have been contacted. It obviously wasn't someone dying of old age, which wouldn't involve the police. Welcome to the world.

Maybe the death at Suburban was the teen drunk driving crash in Rockville recently? I know the only survivor (the driver) was sent to Suburban.

Anonymous guy thinks every death at a hospital is reported in a crime blotter? Lol.
It's a CRIME blotter, not an obituary section.
