Man Beats Friend To Death To Prevent Him Becoming Zombie

A Prewitt, NM man was arrested Thursday afternoon after allegedly beating his friend to death while they were drunk after the man said his friend began "to change into a zombie," according to the Grants Police Department.

The man, identified as 23-year-old Damon Perry, told police he had been binge-watching "The Walking Dead" on Netflix recently.

Grants police originally responded to a Grants apartment complex after 911 callers said a man – later identified as Perry – was running around the complex threatening people with a knife.

When officers arrived, two maintenance workers were holding Perry down. Inside a nearby apartment, an officer found the friend unresponsive with signs of trauma. The friend was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified the victim Monday as Christopher Paquinn.

Perry was taken to police headquarters and interviewed. There, he told detectives that while the two were drinking, Paquinn began "to change into a zombie" and tried to bite him, according to police.
He allegedly then punched and kicked Paquinn, and also hit the friend with an electric guitar and microwave, among other household items, according to police.

Lead detective Sgt. Moses Marquez is working the case, and says there was one more gruesome detail to the murder.

"If you've ever watched the show, you'd know that the only way to kill a zombie is to attack it in its head," Sgt. Marquez said. "Well, when police arrived in this complex, there was a knife inside the victim's head."

"I do believe his story behind this is true. He genuinely felt that his friend was changing into a zombie due to his inebriated state," Sgt. Marquez continued. "Our department is dealing with something that I have never seen or heard of in my entire 13 years here."

Perry has been charged with an open count of murder and is being held at the Cibola County Detention Center.

23-year-old Damon Perry, told police he had been binge-watching "The Walking Dead" on Netflix recently after beating and stabbing his friend to death.

Salon worker praised cryotherapy — then ‘froze to death’ during treatment

A freak accident takes the life of a 24-year old woman. Family members say Chelsea Ake "froze to death" in a Henderson, NV

cryochamber.

Employees at Rejuvenice made the tragic discovery earlier this week. Ake, a Hawaii native, was the manager of the business.

"I do know that she was alone closing the shop up, and then did go into the machine and apparently did not turn off," said her friend, Shae-Lynn Bee.

Authorities with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration say they believe Ake was in the chamber for at least 10 hours. A police report says the 24-year old used the machine without any assistance and may have suffocated. Investigators ruled "operator error."

"Chelsea's everything to me,” Bee said. “She was my best friend, and I'm going to miss her dearly."

Bee traveled from Hawaii to recover her best friend's body.

“It's very frustrating to know because you know there are no cameras in there,” Bee said. “Basically, the only person that does know what happened is Chelsea."

According to Wikipedia, whole-body cryotherapy is being offered by clinicians as an alternative to cold water immersion or ice packs. This treatment involves exposing individuals to extremely cold dry air for two to four minutes.

Cryotherapy experts say no one should be in the machine longer than three minutes. The cryo chamber temperatures go down to minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Ake's family says it will be hard to deal with such a bizarre way to lose someone.

"I just want everybody to know she was awesome and she loved everybody,” Bee said. “Her legacy will definitely move on through us."

The owners of Rejuvenice had no comment on the accident other than they mourn with the family and are saddened with the loss of their friend.

Man Runs Amok On Plane, Dies

Police in Ireland were investigating how a 24-year-old man on board an Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin died on Sunday.

Irish media reported that about an hour into the two-hour flight, the man became agitated. The pilot requested clearance to divert the flight after the man started to become "extremely violent," the Irish Mirror reported.

The pilot told controllers that there was a passenger "running amok" and that he had "injured one or two passengers," the newspaper reported. RTE News reported that he bit another passenger before being restrained and falling unconscious.

Crewmembers later told controllers that a doctor on board was treating the passenger, but that the man no longer had a pulse.

The captain diverted the flight to Cork, about 150 miles southwest of Dublin, where it landed shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time. The man was pronounced dead on board the airplane, The Irish Times reported. He'd been flying unaccompanied and was believed to be studying in Ireland.

The flight's 168 passengers and six crewmembers were interviewed by police. A male passenger injured during the flight was hospitalized.

Murdered woman’s body found hanging on fence mistaken for Halloween decoration

The body of an Ohio woman who police say died while desperately trying to flee her suspected killer was found hanging from a fence — a sight spectators initially thought was for Halloween.

"It was straight out of a horror story," Tammy Dixon, whose nearby Chillicothe home is heavily decorated with spooky items, told WCPO-TV.

Rebecca Cade's sleeve had apparently become caught while trying to climb over the barbed wire fence bordering a Chillicothe power plant, police told the Columbus Dispatch.

The struggling 31-year-old mom, who had past run-ins with the law, reportedly died there after suffering blunt force trauma to her face and head. When fencing contractors found her Tuesday morning, her body was mistaken for a dummy.

A bloody rock was found nearby, detectives said, and 27-year-old Donnie Cochenour was arrested that same day for her murder.

Though Cade's killing is one of several to rock the city over the last 16 months, police have said that they don't believe it's tied to what some fear is a serial killer in their midst.

Angela Robinson, whose daughter Tameka Lynch was one of those tragic victims, said her heart goes out to Cade's family.

Good Samaritan Falls to Death While Helping at Crash Scene

A South Carolina good Samaritan fell to her death early Saturday when she stopped on a bridge to help a man who crashed his pickup truck.

Jessica Nicole Smith fell about 23 feet just before 2 a.m. after she heard a man crying for help under the Greenville County bridge and decided to try to crawl down and reach him, officials said.

The 29-year-old mom and certified nursing assistant’s friends and family said Smith died exactly how she lived — on a constant quest to help others.

 “If anybody ever needed help, Jessica was always there. She'd go out of her way to help complete strangers, people she didn't know,” her sister Hope Smith told WYFF, adding that the family is “heartbroken and empty” following her death.

Investigators said Smith and several other do-gooders pulled over on I-385 around 1:30 a.m. after they spotted a wrecked pickup truck. As other people surveyed the crashed vehicle, Smith heard a man yelling from under the interstate bridge, witnesses said.

The man, who was the driver of the crashed truck, was thrown from his pickup during the wreck, witnesses said. Smith decided to climb over the bridge and try to help him.

Smith likely believed the underpass road was just a few feet below the bridge, officials said. As she tried to climb down to reach the man, she fell more than 20 feet to her death.

The condition of the man and the cause of the crash were not immediately clear.

Hope Smith said she is now taking care of her sister’s 9-year-old son Isaiah.

British Tourist Falls To Death Taking Selfie

A British tourist plunged to her death in an Australian canyon as she posed for a photograph, an inquest has heard.

Zoe Woolmer fell almost 50 feet on to rocks and died at the Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory in June last year.

The 23-year-old had been posing for a picture at the beauty spot with a number of other tourists when the tragedy happened.

Witnesses explained that Woolmer slipped and fell after misplacing her right foot as she tried to get into position for the picture.

Tour guide Rebecca Gethen, from The Rock Tour Company, was guiding the group when they climbed onto the ledge of a cliff for the photograph.

"There was a scream and it took me a moment to register what had happened,” Gethen told the inquest, reported Mirror Online.

"She wasn't saying any words but she was groaning and moaning. She was looking up at me…I said, 'Help is on the way darling. Don't worry, I won't leave you.’”

Gethen, who was only six weeks into the job and on her fourth solo tour, had been trained to take visitors to the lookout spot just a few feet from the canyon's edge for photos.

When asked why she continued with the cliff edge visit, despite signposted warning at the canyon, Gethen said "I didn't think. I just wanted to get everything right that was in the itinerary and I wanted to do a good job."
