The RIver of Death

Tweet

We have this great river that flows through my city - the city of Minneapolis (Minnesota) and all the way through many southern states. It's gorgeous, separating downtown from other parts of the city. In the past year, I swear more than 12 people have been found, dead, in this river. Floating down the river. And that's just what we hear about on the news. Recently, our city was searching for this 20 year old University of Minnesota student who had gone missing - having left his wallet and his cell phone at home and never returned. A few days ago a body was found floating down the river several miles south of where the student lived. Just yesterday, it was confirmed that the body belonged to the 20 year old missing student. All evidence is pointing to suicide so far - no signs of foul play that the news has let on to - but I'm not sure what the M.E. statement said. Didn't mean to depress anyone with this info - just wanted to get it out there. Do you have things like this happen in your city? Do you have a River of Death?
