If the car that had a person die in it is parted out do the parts need to be disclosed where they came from? You may recall two incidents? 11/11/85 (my birthday) Pelle Lindbergh goalie for the Flyers crashed his 930 and was killed. His car was being stored at my friend's shop. There wasn't much left to salvage, rear bumper rear wheels but if it were parted should that be disclosed? In the 1990's NYC mob boss Paul Castellano was murdered getting out of his Lincoln. His driver was also shot and died in the car. If the Lincoln was cleaned the windshield replaced and the car sold. Should that be disclosed? Are they the same Pelle's car and Castellano's? Do they carry the same stigma?
In the case of the condo the entire structure is gone and will be replaced with new. Is that the same as being built on an ancient Indian burial ground? Is that the same as the new house built on the location of the Tate murder or just a tragic incident that has nothing to do with the new structure?

Man, you're younger than I thought...I remember that day like it was yesterday. Pelle was well loved in Philly. And those poor girls in his car...
As to disclosing the fact that a murder occurred in a house-hot enough topic that it gets discussed in real estate classes and law schools. States are all over the place as to whether it is material or not. Pennsylvania says its not material.
