Is that included in the officiall homicide tally? I forget. I know the Sun never reported on whether they identified him or her or established a cause of death. When it happened they got an unofficial statement from someone that said it looked like he/she had bullet holes in him/her, but that was it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-1157168293340248242006-09-01T23:38:00.000-04:002006-09-01T23:38:00.000-04:00Did I miss any in my list up there?Did I miss any in my list up there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-1157166268739982032006-09-01T23:04:00.000-04:002006-09-01T23:04:00.000-04:00Yes, the ME is the only oone who can state a deter...Yes, the ME is the only oone who can state a determination as to death.Heres to hoping you get the info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-1157122320752238872006-09-01T10:52:00.000-04:002006-09-01T10:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for bringing this up, 'nons.

(If I get a call back is another matter-- saying you're a 'freelance writer' or 'concerned citizen' is usually a one-way ticket to the round file, but you never know).<BR/><BR/>The Julia Boussari thing I found particularly puzzling, because the ME office said it was a homicide, and if I remember correctly, the BPD later said that her wound was self-inflicted. Wouldn't that be a medical Examiner call?Maurice Bradburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143777490997450728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-1157119761750426312006-09-01T10:09:00.000-04:002006-09-01T10:09:00.000-04:00You could be right, fellow anonymous commenter. Le...You could be right, fellow anonymous commenter. Let me consult my list of undetermined deaths this year. The finding of these bodies was reported in The Sun, but if the police/medical examiner ever came to any conclusion about them, The Sun never bothered printing that part (if they did and I just missed it please correct me):<BR/><BR/>1) Said Sawab, 36, died in a fire caused by arson on 3/2/06 at his house in the 5500 block of Gwynn Oak Ave; his death was originally ruled a homicide but then it was "removed from the rolls pending an official decision by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program on whether it will be classified as a murder or accidental death" (from the 7/5/06 edition of Murder Ink), despite the fact that the two teenagers accused of setting the fire have been charged with first-degree murder.<BR/><BR/>2) Ernest Miller, 58, found dead on 3/14/06 in the 6600 block of Holabird Ave.<BR/><BR/>3) Lana Jean Whalen, 37, found dead on 4/5/06 on the shoulder of I-95 in Southeast Baltimore.<BR/><BR/>4) Julia Kimberly Boussari, 34, found dead on 4/9/06 in the 1100 block of Druid Hill Ave.<BR/><BR/>5) An unidentified male, who died on 5/27/06 after struggling with police in the 1800 block of Fleet St.<BR/><BR/>6) Robert Benway, 45, who died on 7/1/06 after sustaining a head injury on the job at one of the city's ports on 6/26/06. There was a big article in The Sun recently about how this incident was never investigated by anybody and how none of the facts add up.<BR/><BR/>7) An unidentified male, who was found hanging from the Hanover Street bridge on 8/17/06. This one I'll admit was probably suicide, but the last thing The Sun ever said about it was that the police were investigating and the body had been sent to the medical examiner to determine a cause of death.<BR/><BR/>8) On the same day, the body of another unidentified male was found in the 500 block of South Vincent St.<BR/><BR/>9) An unidentified male, found dead on 8/23/06 in the 600 block of North Paca St.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10325596.post-1157050675124532282006-08-31T14:57:00.000-04:002006-08-31T14:57:00.000-04:00I think the homicide number is probably higher tha...I think the homicide number is probably higher than that but we'll never know the true count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
