This reads like an overly fantastical TV movie plot.

Quote:

Stephen Perry, who was a writer for 1980s cartoon ThunderCats, recently went missing. His van was found last Sunday. Inside it, a man's severed arm. Stephen Perry, police now report, is dead.

The 56-year-old writer went missing from his Zephyrhills, Florida home, which authorities discovered was ransacked. His roommates, James Davis (45) and Roxanne Davis (49), disappeared, but have since been arrested on unrelated charges, writes Tampa Bay Online. James Davis was picked up on drug trafficking charges, and his wife is charged with violating probation.

"I cried. I cried when they told me," says 26-year-old Krystal Carroll, the mother of Perry's 5-year-old son. Last year, Carroll moved out and is currently in another relationship. Perry was slated to appear in court on May 9 for a domestic violence charge against Carroll. He has also been battling cancer as well.

It was the Thundercats ho that did for him.

Crikey. Horrible.

This'll probably bump a friend's intention of a ThunderCats tattoo up to the top now, the loon.

What the fuck!?

Although props to the man - when he got his missus pregnant, he was 51 and she was 21.

Lost makes more sense than that, I think I need to draw a flowchart...

I imagine the ennui caused by his having "roommates" at 51 finally got to him.

Trapped animals have been known to gnaw off their own limbs to effect an escape.

I had a date that nearly ended like that once.

I always thought it went pretty well. Now, at least, I understand.
