| Natural causes? Bullet holes in man's head suggest otherwise |
| 2009-02-27 |
 KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police and medical examiners who thought a man died of natural causes changed their minds after funeral-home workers found bullet holes in his head.The Kansas City Star reported Thursday that three bullet wounds -- two of them in Anthony Crockett's head -- were noticed after the man's body was embalmed Friday. The funeral home returned the 49-year-old Kansas City man's body to the Jackson County medical examiner's office, and police counted the death as a homicide. |

| #5 This is Kansas City. The unnatural causes threshold is crossed when someone has to stop and reload. |

| #4 Snowy Thing, you've clearly got a second career awaiting when you're ready to make the change... although you'll prob'ly have to shave a bit so as not to startle the punters. |

| #3 Sounds like natural causes to me. He was shot in the head, and naturally he suffered trauma and died. |

| #2 Three bullet holes in the head? Quincy and the CSI guys said it was a suicide. What surprised me is that the holes weren't discovered until he was embalmed. |

| #1 when the head's leaking embalming fluid like a watering can, you gotta wonder if anybody's awake at the ME's office, much less doing a Quincey impression |
