Constructive Criticism Found Dead; Authorities Suspect Foul Play
Pittsburgh, PA (Reuters) – At approximately 3:30 this afternoon, police found the body of Constructive Criticism dead in the computer room of his apartment in suburban Pittsburgh. Although authorities said it was clear that Mr. Criticism had not died of natural causes, no suspects were named in his death.
“Although we know that Mr. Criticism had received several threats from various internet users over the past several years,” a police statement read, “we are unable to single out a single suspect at this time.”
Friends of the deceased aren’t sure that one person is necessarily to blame for Mr. Criticism’s premature death.
“Constructive had been coming under fire for the past several years from people all over the world.” said one neighbor who wished to remain anonymous. “A new generation of uneducated people were given access to forums where, uncensored, they were able to drive him to the brink of despair.”
Constructive Criticism is survived by a brother, Respect and his daughter, Articulation, who has been in a coma for the last 3 years.
