Man Decapitated by Exploding Pipe Bomb
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local-beat/Headless-Body-Found-Near-Evanston-Middle-School-102855749.html


The shirtless and headless man, identified as 21-year-old Colin Dalebroux, was discovered near Nichols Middle School, at 800 Greenleaf St. in Evanston.


It was not immediately apparent how exactly the man managed to, apparently, blow off his own head. Evanston police Cmdr. Tom Guenther said it was premature to speculate on reports that the cause of the death was suicide, but confirmed that Dalebroux's head was severed in the incident.


Police investigated the explosion shortly before 4:00 a.m., but found nothing. About an hour later, Wyatt was walking his dog, as he says he does every morning, and came upon Dalebroux's headless body near the school tennis courts.

1. "Police investigated the explosion shortly before 4:00 a.m., but found nothing."
4:00 am is about when the donut shops start their first AM batch.

5. Oh, lordy
"It was not immediately apparent how exactly the man managed to, apparently, blow off his own head."

I have a vision of him with it in his teeth as he rummaged through his pockets to find the matches he forgot to bring.

Condolences to his family, but I'm relieved he's out of the gene pool.

6. "somebody" reported it was a suicide -
but why would a suicide take TWO bombs?

The person who reported the 'suicide' wanted to stop the investigation because it would lead back to him.

I wonder what the target was.
