No offense intended to my Missouri readers

But seriously...

In the inexplicable headline category…

Natural causes? Bullet holes in Mo. man's head suggest otherwise

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.

“This kind of mistake is a pretty bad mistake,” said Thomas Young, the former Jackson County medical examiner who now runs a private forensic pathology practice.


Really? The bullet holes in the head gave it away?

This may be why there is not a TV show called CSI-Kansas City
