This sounds kind of fishy
Does anyone know this person? Was this guy murdered even though the police are saying he wasn’t?

Possible that opportunists robbed him after finding out he died.

Interesting. He was an ER doc at Baton Rouge General. Always seemed like a nice guy. Pretty quiet.

There is a repo house I have managed for the bank for the past two years here in Lake Charles in a nice neighborhood. While there doing inspections a few times I had several neighbors ask me if they could come in and look at the place aka scope it out. One even said, "I'm a gun dealer and I want to see if there are any guns in there". I told them all to pound sand as his personals weren't abandoned property and still belonged to his heirs.

People have no shame even in nice areas.

He may have overdosed, or gotten some bad drugs and then the shitbags with him just burgled him instead of calling 911.


I suppose it would be burglary if the person is dead, instead of robbery...


But then why do they call it "grave robbery"?

Shouldn't it be "Grave burglary?"

This street is kind of both hidden and a cut through. I grew up on it. Not a place an “opportunist” would easily find opportunity. Interesting

Really? That is interesting. Hopefully they say how he died. If he was murdered they need to find out who did it.

People indeed look at newspapers for death announcements and take advantage of empty houses.

I remember when the woman was killed by the Olympics bomber in Atlanta. Her house was robbed during her funeral.

Josh was a resident when I was on staff at the Earl. He was a very good ERMD and even better person. Apparently he had been battling some demons the past few years.

His body wouldn’t still be in the house if they read the announcement in the paper.

I live a stones throw away, like you said I heard he has been fighting demons for a few years now after a divorce and injury. Would like to know why there is still unmarked police cars there, my only guess is that they are to guard the detectives. They picked up the crime scene tape about 2 hours ago.

You rob a person (even if they’re dead). You burgle a dwelling.

Unfortunately that’s what I’m hearing. I heard He was in a nasty custody dispute with his ex and her new husband (who was a friend of his before the friend married his ex)
