[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sexual asphyxiation gone wrong?

police say no threat to the public so why get so fixated on it? [/quote]

Again, the police called it a homicide and specifically asked the medical examiner not to release details of how he died.

If it was sexual asphyxiation, it would likely not be classified as murder. Why would they not release the manner of death? Something is definitely fishy. This is not an area where murders are very common.[/quote]

Homicide and murder are not the same.[/quote]

Please explain the difference between the two.

Would the police call a suicide a homicide?[/quote]

Homicide is the killing of one person by another person. Murder is criminal homicide. In other words, the justified and/or legal killing of another person is a homicide, but not murder while murder is a subset of homicide. [/quote]

So if it was a sex act with someone gone wrong, a homicide. Anyway, domestic issue. Not something for nosey neighbors to worry about. [/quote]

Really? If your neighbor was killed - whether domestic in nature or not - you would just look the other way? And then call people "nosey neighbors" for asking questions?

A few years ago when I lived in DC, one of our neighbors was murdered in his apartment (it was the building across the street). Not only did the police hold briefings with everyone in his building, but also in ours. It gave us a chance to ask questions, and they reassured us that they were looking for the perp and would make an arrest, which happened a few weeks later. As bad as people make out the DC police, this was something that was very considerate.
