Headless Body Found Near Evanston Middle School, Explosive Device Nearby

Quote:

A headless body was found near an Evanston middle school early Tuesday--and a pipe bomb was found nearby.

According to NBC Chicago, Evanston residents living near Nichols Middle School at 800 Greenleaf St. heard an explosion around 4 a.m. They also smelled gun powder.

A man walking his dog a short time later discovered a decapitated body near the school, the Chicago Tribune reports.

He said his dog led him to the body of a shirtless man whose head was missing and whose legs were folded behind him. A shopping bag lay nearby, and there was a strong odor of what he thought was gunpowder.

"I thought my dog was chasing a rabbit, but when I got close it was a body without a head," he said. "There was a weird smell in the air. I wasn't expecting what I saw."

One neighbor who heard the explosion and called police told NBC Chicago that officers came to his house about three hours later and told him a man had committed suicide with a pipe bomb.

Nichols Middle School has been closed for the day as police continue their investigation, and police have destroyed the explosive device found on the scene.

Wow I hadn't heard this. Rogers Park I'd understand, but not Evanston...

Just saw it on the news-- guy blew his head off with a pipe bomb and there was a 2nd one next to him. Whoops.

Suicide by blowing your head off with a pipe bomb? WTF?

I'll give him a "10" for creativity. At least he didn't take the easy way out (gun in mouth, pills/alcohol, carbon monoxide).

Sounds more like a sick execution to me... Someone trying to send a message.

Rogers Park isn't that bad. I live there for 4 years when I first moved to Chicago...

Finding a decapitated body is no walk in the park.

Aint like huntin wabbits either LOL

Well, the rest of the parts must have been nearby...

Family is certain it was suicide. 21 years old, been battling depression for 15 years, sad story.
