A Collection Of Horrible Fates

[@auggie532]

I'm genuinely surprised in the basement death that no one connected "missing person last seen walking into this basement" and "persistent horrible smell from basement". Seems like an easy line to connect, idk.

[@redtailarts101]

Well, for one, it wasn't an established fact that he was last seen going into the basement. Maybe nobody saw him go down there, and it was a party so he could have come back up and just left as far as anyone knew. Obviously that didn't happen but they didn't know that yet Plus the smell in the basement wasn't reported shortly after Edwardo disappeared. It had been 3 months at that point, so police had no reason to believe they were related. Even the fact that the smell likely first started after he disappeared, the club may not have suspected their missing DJ died in their club because they had no idea it had been coming from the basement.

[@tedthesailor172]

The smell should've raised questions. If I ran a public venue and suddenly a terrible stink became apparent, I'd want it sorting out pronto for the sake of my own and its reputation. Who'd want to spend time in a bar that stank of rotting corpse...?

[@stevenbenson9976]

@@sirensynapse5603here's the thing. Because of the low amount of air circulation it would have been a while before it stated to stink up the place. Also they still allowed smoking in the bar so the massive smell of smoke would have masked it pretty heavily.

Positional asphyxia also killed a lot of child chimney sweeps in the Victorian age. The kid would be sent into the chimney to clean up blockages, slip, get trapped in the tight space and die, unless (and even if) the house owners gave permission to smash in the walls in time to get the child out.

[@Bigolebungus]

It also kills quite a few drug addicts. More than a few cases of someone shooting up in the bathroom, falling unconscious and pinning themselves between the toilet and the bathtub, or sometimes their bed and furniture. Sometimes it just happens if they fall against the wall in the wrong position.

I don't think he was connected to Joshua's unfortunate death but it's an interesting connection.

[@kaylonrome]

There's a case where a guy it's stuck in a closet and Armoire somehow fell hitting the closet door trapping the guy in the closet. It was so heavy he couldn't open the closet door. He also was trapped in the dark. He screamed, yell and banged on the door and walls to no avail. Somehow he noticed a pipe above head in the closet, he broke piece of the pipe off to use to try to make a whole in the wall opposite the door. To his horror behind the drywall or paneling was a cinder block. To matters worst the pipe he broke was a water line so now water is gushing out hitting him non stop. His neighbors at one point heard the banging for a few days non-stop. On like the 2nd or 3rd day they said if the banging continued they would go investigate. Just when they were going go over to his house the banging stop so they didn't go over to his house. Someone noticed the water coming from his house and called the Police. Police arrive go into house and sees all the water and try to find the source. They ended up in bedroom where they saw this huge Armoire against the closet door. It took two officers to move the Armoire when they opened the door and saw his lifeless body. He died of hypothermia from the freezing water.

[@LadyDemonSlayer]

I think it was omitted for the sake of brevity, but in the case of 3, didn't crime scene investigators recreate the crime scene (with donated bodies) to show that it was highly suspicious Todd didn't have any flies or eggs infesting him when he was found? I recall they recreated how the body was found and the elements surrounding that three times and each time the donated bodies were quickly inhabited by scavenger insects, but Todd's body was untouched when it was discovered, which was a hell of a red flag as to what happened to him.

and yet my elderly in-laws have a modest home and a few closets that i could swear have not been opened in years. the lifestyle of a quiet peaceful and well organized retiree can sometimes mean they don't even need their extra sheets as they just wash and replace the same set in a day. it's different knowing this man did go to work, but he was older and living alone. sometimes there's just less chores to do and the supplies in a closet are forgotten for a while. it's so different from my life in a similar sized home where every storage space is busy and bursting but that's because i'm 30! planning a family and living with a full schedule and huge accumulation of old and new clothes, hobbies, projects, too much stuff! which i'm in the process of cleaning out. on the flip side, some people get to their later years where they're much better at living minimally, (i hoard a lot less now than i did at 20.) so eventually some don't need that closet space. and suddenly the squatter making it their home makes sense... so unnerving but i do respect him for not pressing charges and respect her for never harming the man. clearly was just a normal person who hated being homeless, as any of us would!

[@Antikyth]

I live in a three bedroom house at the moment alone. In the two other bedrooms, I have only opened the closets maybe twice in the past year? And I haven't opened the cupboards in the kitchen for a year; this is because due to ADHD I really struggle to find things that aren't visible.

She didn't take any valuables, she tried not to disturb the man, she just wanted shelter and food - something that should be a universal human right and should be provided by the state.

Not all drown victims have water in their lungs. It’s usually 50/50. His body had zero signs of trauma to it so no signs of struggle, bruising, cuts, abrasions, or any of that. You also have to consider it is in the pitch black that he is trying to swim while intoxicated. Drunk people drown in their own well lit pools all the time so being in complete darkness with no sight of which direction land might be in is an easy circumstance to drown in. Bug activity can be reduced by the season or unusually colder weather. Cold water in particular would have very little bug activity. The levity inconsistencies could be explained by the fact he was in water and not on land. Hours in the water the body would not stay in perfect position it would shuffle and move around as it decomposed and released gases and underwent physical changes, not to mention wind, waves, and bumping into obstacles. Accidental drowning overwhelmingly seems the most logical explanation.

[@ItsAv3rageGamer]

I'd like to know how quickly the body was found after the psychic told them to look there. Is it possible this information was publicised? Possibly the murderer realised the police were looking into that location and wanted his body found, so put it in a place they knew the police were already searching?

[@someguy999]

My guess is that what people believe the psychic said wasn't entirely accurate. Psychics use a technique known as cold reading, which is intentionally vague and tends to lead to confirmation bias. I think it's plausible that the psychic gave multiple vague predictions and that only the hits were reported or remembered. It would be a huge coincidence if the family contacted a psychic that also happened to be involved and also risk being caught by disclosing the location of the body. Misreporting and the limitations of human memories are more likely in my opinion.

@@someguy999 I've never understood why people give psychics the time of day. They're just scam artists taking advantage of people in traumatic circumstances.

You see the map, it is not that difficult to come up with that good guess, Psychic people are good at gathering the right information to make a guess as good as possible. And as someone else has pointed out, the hits are remembered and the misses are mostly forgotten. In this case, the believers of the supernatural will only remember "the psychic guessed the general location right which is the marsh" but forgets that "the exact location is inaccurate by a whopping 67%"

I will say, as someone who is on Antidepressants, they can affect how you are effected by alcohol - I jump straight from very mildly tipsy to fully drunk without anything in the middle.

[@ryanlindback9393]

Very dangerous to drink on those because it stops seratonin from leaving your brain so it just builds up and can cause seratonin syndrome… it can kill you from seizures and blackouts be careful

[@louisbell1854]

crazy how some police departments are quick to close a case then others are adamant they know what happened but cant prove anything and keep an investigation open forever.

[@crookedtimber6227]

The last case - young man found in body of water - sounds like accidental drowning. Having two different anti-depressants in his system, neither of which had been prescribed, could be explained (possibly) as some pills he was given at the party (ie. he might've been told it was MDMA or something). Starting just one type of anti-depressant can have strong side-effects for people, including disorientation, light-headedness etc. which could've contributed to his going in the wrong direction and ending up, deliberately or not, in the pond. The 'smiley-face' theory is a great example of what happens when investigators forget to use logic: what demographic is most likely to be intoxicated and end up in a body of water? Young men. What do kids spray-paint or scrawl wherever they're not being observed? It used to be swastikas, but smiley-faces seem just as popular now. And yes, they're graffitied somewhere near the body of water because drain culverts, bridges and overpasses often have areas where people can hang out, drink, graffiti etc. without being observed. There's a clear possible link between these things that suggests tragic accidental death and coincidence. I can understand the grieving families, searching for meaning, wondering if there is something to this 'smiley-face' idea. I can't understand why a detective would be promoting it though, unless he wants his reputation forever ruined.

Is it possible that Todd was a victim of "dry drowning"? If he entered the water voluntarily but subsequently lost consciousness that would explain the lack of water in his lungs, as to lividity it's also possible he died head down before his body's buoyancy changed due to decomposition. This could also explain the absence of insect infestation, just a thought. It is weird but then again if wasn't, we wouldn't be commenting on it. Cheers, I always look forward to your work.

If I had a dollar for every time something was "Ruled a death by drowning" in a case where the person had no water in their lungs, I'd have a suprising amount of dollar bills. I probably could even get a steak dinner.

Am I the only one that was hoping the ending to the first story would be for the guy to allow the woman to keep living in the house as she had, once he realized how desperate and how neat and tidy she kept everything haha.

Not gonna lie, if I was an old man and discovered that a homeless lady had been living with me for over a year and was so nice and tidy that I never suspected a thing, and never stole anything but food from me, I think I'd just invite her to stay in the empty bedroom she was living in the closet of this whole time anyway.

There is only two of these stories that really disturb me, even to this day: One, the guy who, while at a gas station, was dragged underneath the car, where he eventually died, after a couple of miles. Two, the doctor who lost his head while trying to exit an elevator. Those two are the only two that genuinely unsettle me

[@Kurt1969]

There are actually two stories that I can't shake. It's been several months and I think about them almost daily. One is Vladimir Popov who was brutally attacked and killed by a tiger shark, the other is the Pariah pipeline incident? I think it's Pariah. I have a difficult time with most of these stories wondering how anyone deserves a horrible fate. ( outside of stupidity ) No one really deserves to suffer like some of these folks. Yet I keep coming back for more? WTF :)

I thought I would use this opportunity to share my experience with eating while I was sleeping. I went through about a 2-year phase of it that I'm not quite sure how I got out of but one of the instances of this disorder included me eating an entire box of nature valley granola bars. Of course I felt like hell when I woke up it wasn't until my wife approached me asked me about the crumbs on the pantry floor. I had just shoved all the wrappers back in the box stuck it on the shelf. Around that time I was going through a lot of heavy emotional issues and I wonder if that had something to do with on set

Eduardo’s case could easily have turned into a missing 411 case. wonder if this is what happened to the young man that disappeared at the ugly tuna saloon ? I believe he was in med school and his mother had just passed away, and he was about to go on vacation to Florida, and his body still hasn’t been found.

[@jonathanisolato]

Yeah, i believe the construction site theory where he left through the wrong door on the second floor and he fell into the setting concrete in the next door construction site, ended up trapped as a body in a place where the smell would never get out, it lines up too well
