UPDATE - 5:03 PM: Montgomery County police report thar officers responded to Veterans Park, along with fire and rescue personnel, this morning for a welfare check. They located the person, but found they were deceased. No foul play is suspected in the case, and police say there is no danger to the community.
Montgomery County police are investigating a deceased person who was apparently discovered in Veterans Park in Bethesda this morning. Crime scene tape was placed around a body under a sheet in the vicinity of Jetties and the former BGR, according to several eyewitnesses around 9:00 AM this morning. Four police cruisers were at the scene. The body has now been removed from the park by police, but the department has not commented publicly on the death as of this writing. At least three nearby residents have cited hearing what sounded like gunshots or a car backfiring around 3:00 AM this morning in that area.
A car backfiring? That would be an anachronism.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteThat area has become so ghetto. The beginning of the end started when Smashburger closed.
ReplyDelete11:08 wait until the whole Triangle is mostly half empty rental highrises catering to Airbnb travelers. Of course, these types of transient occupants make for less opposition to crazy plans like cancelling the veterans park extension.
DeleteNo sympathy or compassion for the dead person.
ReplyDeleteJust, "anachronism," "ghetto," and "transient occupants."
It's not all about property values and wise-assery, people.
Why no compassion what did he do to you?
DeleteThere was a crazy rooftop party on one of the apt. buildings in the vicinity, headed by management of said property and restricting access to all residents. Wonder if it's linked...
ReplyDeleteThe obnoxious rooftop party was on the rooftop pool of Gallery 2.
DeleteTragic. I hope we have a full update from the police (soon).
ReplyDeleteI heard the noise -- it sounded like a series of fireworks going off.
I heard what sounded like high-caliber gunshots at 3:57am and ran outside to see window reflections of a fireworks display which would place the detonation point in that general direction between Jack The Clipper and Veterans Park.
ReplyDelete@12:14 What is your social redeeming valuable contribution here?
ReplyDeleteWhat a prejudiced bunch of pearl clutching wingers. It's a good thing you don't live in a real city. Oh wait!
ReplyDeleteOf course we "wingers" are imagining everything! There's less crime, less violence, safe streets and no one is threatening us in our neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteIs there something I'm missing? Is not it paramount that the law (coroner, in this case or obvious evidence of GSW) that we know of "foul play," particularly a gun crime? Call me suspicious but the longer it goes without a MCPD update, the more we should suspect sandbagging. They only do tell us what they want us to hear, the Dems are famous for that!!
ReplyDeleteHeard it was an OD.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't do drugs he had medical problems
Delete@11:47 -- better to call you paranoid. Unlike Quincy, actual, real-life medical examiner's reports take longer to produce than 60 minutes. Chill out. It isn't a coverup; it's a small office responsible for rooting about in every body that expires in the state under suspicious or criminal circumstances. WBAL reported last summer that the office was under-staffed and over-burdened with cases, with a giant backlog of bodies. Graphic, perhaps, but the truth isn't necessarily as neat and tidy as Jack Klugman made it seem.
ReplyDeleteYou're right.
ReplyDeleteI know someone that walked by the decedent after yellow tape but before covered up, and as shocking as a scene to stumble upon, the Intel was: "Caucasian w-no visible trauma." -- I do not need confirmation from OCME to tell us that COD was a Fentanyl OD.
ReplyDeleteNo he didn't do drugs
DeleteBy golly, *THAT'S* the kind of gut-based, I-don't-need-no-fancy-book-learnin' scientific method we need more of, @4:26
ReplyDeleteProbably accurate and a whole lot less expensive than the resources we waste processing these kind of personal issues.
DeleteThis was my boyfriend and he wasn't a drug user. He was having medical issues that he couldn't afford to pay for treatment to figure out what was wrong. Please keep his loved ones in your prayers as we are really going through a rough time right now
