Not sure whether People is considered MSM - reporting my own post so mods can delete if needed.

Anyhow, the article below published in People says that his body was found in a "plastic bin" inside the storage unit. If that's the case, I hope his end was quick and painless, as opposed to more terrible imaginings. Being in the bin also makes it more clear-cut that foul play occurred, and I hope the perpetrator can be brought to clear justice.
