Asphyxiation Point police and the county coroner are investigating after a person was found dead inside the AP cinema earlier this week.
Officers and emergency medical crews were dispatched shortly before 11 AM, after the body was located by a cinema attendant. The person - a white male - was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said that foul play is suspected, considering that the body was laid out in a horrific fashion. An investigation is ongoing, and operations at the theater were affected for several hours, as activity lasted into the late afternoon, though it did not affect traffic in the area.
Additional details were not immediately available from police, but the attendant who found the body was willing to discuss what he had seen with The AP Times.
"It was horrible," explained Biff. "He had 'I am a Rapist Pig' smeared across his bare torso, his eyes were missing, and his [penis] was shoved into his mouth! At first I thought that it was just a prank, 'cause we had been playing horror movies earlier that day. But it was real."
The body has since been identified as one Dr. William Crane, who worked at the AP Hospital and had been missing for some time. According to neighbors, Dr. Crane only left the house at night and did not seem to have any friends, but apparently was a fan of home improvement, as his living room was said to be sound proofed.
Dr. Crane leaves no known relatives and questions remain about what could have brought on his grisly demise.
Police are looking for a possible suspect - a large masked man dressed all in white - and anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Jennie Irelund or Chief of Police Kerri Oakleaf.
