Celebration, Florida,

It’s the kind of town where people give Christmas gifts to their favorite Starbucks barista, where welcoming wooden rocking chairs sit lakeside on a sidewalk without being stolen, where neighbors tend to get suspicious if they notice you’re not around.

has its first murder.

  1. I’m really surprised they didn’t pronounce this person dead outside of Celebration. Note the stories last sentences:
    “A missing person’s report was filed Sunday, and the next day neighbors went into his apartment and found his body. Investigators won’t say what type of scene they encountered, or how Giovanditto died.”

    Very close to Disney World there is a hospital in Lake Buena Vista, FL, which is why you will find that NO ONE dies at the happiest place on earth. They are always pronounced at a nearby hospital. The resorts are different, the mouse cares not who kicks it there. But they are very sure that people do NOT die in the park. Remember the 4 year old who died after riding “Mission: Space” ride? He was pronounced dead “at a nearby hospital.”

    I would not be shocked to find out that Celebration will have new policies for citizens to reporting missing persons and crimes after this incident.

  2. Ima betting it was drugs. Specifically Oxycontin. Or gay prostitution and drugs. This is the beginning of the end for Celebration, Ima guess also.

    Hey, what happened to Lucy? Did she ever get that walk?

    HAY! Mebee it was TERRRRISTS! (Or arms dealing, whatever) We should set up a federal checkpoint and the entrance to Celebration STAT!

  3. @4: To be fair most people who die suddenly are pronounced dead at a hospital. The main reason for this is that EMTs typically do not have the authority to pronounce someone dead. So unless it’s a crime scene they transport the person to the nearest hospital even if they know the person is dead.
