Mickey Goodwin Bludgeoned to Death in his Home

Mickey Goodwin – 50 year old boxing legend and the winner of The Golden Gloves from 1975 was bludgeoned to death in his home. Melvindale police confirmed that dead body of Mickey Goodwin was discovered at about 5pm inside a home on Ruth Street in Melvindale where he lived with his mother.

After ending his career of a professional boxer, Mickey Goodwin went to become a boxing trainer at Kronk Gym in Detroit. His professional boxing record stands at 42-2-1, with 28 wins by KO, however he never won a championship belt.

The police have made no arrests, but are asking for citizens who may have witnessed anything to give them a call. This is pretty sad – bludgeoned to death in his own home? Damn… RIP Mickey Goodwin :(

 

Frozen Man Encased in Ice in Detroit’s Roosevelt Warehouse

Frozen Man Encased in Ice in Detroit’s Roosevelt Warehouse

This shocking picture is from Detroit. Frozen man was found encased in ice with just his feet sticking out like popsicles. He was discovered by a group of explorers who took the rush of entering ruined Roosevelt Warehouse to play hockey in ice covered basement. Looks like they were proceeded by another explorer who may have been seeking shelter from freezing temperatures that did not avoid Detroit, rather than seeking thrill. Obviously, his adventure did not go as planned.

The investigation is on going. Since the discovery of a frozen man, there have been speculations as to what happened to the guy. Since Detroit is trigger happy city, it is possible that man was murdered prior to being dropped off at abandoned Roosevelt Warehouse and as cold snap hit the city, his body got trapped in two feet of ice. Or maybe he just got really fucking drunk, didn’t make it home and took a nap while it was -15 Celsius outside and woke up to being encased in ice. Or maybe he was a homeless guy who was rampaging Roosevelt Warehouse for loose iron he could exchange for money and fell as he slipped on slick ice.

Who knows. Perhaps further investigation casts some light into this mystery. One way or another, this is not quite the way I would wish to be found if it was my time to go. Damn…
