A REAL DEAD BODY WAS MISTAKEN AS HALLOWEEN DISPLAY.

April 9th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized

Original article: http://www.shockingtimes.co.uk/dead-body-mistaken-by-neighbours-as-halloween-display/

A dead body of an old man was left on a balcony in Los Angeles for 1 week. His neigbour thought that he was a Halloween display so they did not call the police. A scene of  Mostafa Zayed, 78 years old man was slumped in a chair with a bullet in his head was seen when the police came. 

His neighbor really thought that he was a Halloween display because it looks so unreal.

“looked like a Halloween dummy”. Austin Raishbrook, who was at the apartment in the Marina del Rey district of LA when authorities were called stated, “The body was in plain view of the entire apartment complex and they all didn’t do anything. It’s very strange. It did look unreal, to be honest”.

 The state police have interviewed the neigbours and dealing the death as a suicide.

    That was quite interesting though not in a good way. The thing I don’t understand is, a body left for a few days would of started to give off a horrible decaying odor, and you would think SOMEONE would of tried to touch him even if they did think it was a Halloween dummy. That’s strange, and the neighbors seem suspicious to me, I don’t think he commited suicide really. Though not sure why anyone would want to kill and old man. On the side note, I hate Halloween.

    This summary was nice, contained almost everything important in the original article, and had little grammar/spelling mistakes. Nothing I could say really, nice work.

    well, i think the post was good. The link of the original article is given and you have made it to different paragraphs for readers to understand it more clearly. The grammar and punctuation, in my opinion, is just fine. However, i suggest you could find a picture for the dead body so it would be more interesting to read and enjoy the post.
    I think it would be so scary to see a dead body in real life! I would be terrified to see that! The post is really interesting and fun to read. Good job, Thi!
