Behind the Story: Frozen Homeless Detroit Man's Death Continues to Freak Us Out

http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story....

A weekly in Detroit has recently published a story behind the original Detroit News article about the homeless man (who we now know as Johnnie Redding) who froze to death at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

Big uproar about how the tip was reported and how many people knew about the death months before it was reported...

Overblown? Or WTF?
