Man Found Dead at Texas 'Occupy' Camp

A
man was found dead Saturday afternoon in a tent at the "Occupy Denton"
campsite on the grounds of the University of North Texas, KNTU-Radio
reported.


University and city police found the body at
the eight-tent encampment after someone contacted authorities between
5:00pm and 5:30pm local time, UNT spokesman Buddy Price told the
station.


Price said crime scene tape had been put up
to block off the campsite and that protesters would not be allowed back
in to the area until investigations into the death had been finalized.


A statement published on the university's Facebook
page said police had not yet identified how the as-yet unidentified man
had died, but believed he was a participant in the "Occupy" protest.


"According to the UNT Police Department, the
time and cause of death is unknown ... The area has been secured while
the UNT Police conduct an investigation," the statement said.


The body was taken from the camp by a Denton
County coroner about 8:30pm, the North Texas Daily reported, adding it
was not believed the man was a student at the university.


Garrett Graham,
a spokesman for "Occupy Denton," told the university's student
newspaper the dead man "is a friend of ours who had found a family here.
We're dealing with it like a family."

Daum.

Could be a natural death, or exhaustion, or lack of food / water. Who knows.

I predicted this would happen...And I hope I'm wrong but I swear this was gonna happen.

This is the only way that the police can get people out of an area. They probably hired someone to go kill a guy so that they could rope it all as a crime scene.

That same thought actually crossed my mind, but I decided to go with the safe comment lol.
