The Case of the Zombie-Like Resident

Language from the article "Body is Mistaken for a Halloween Display" (NY Times)

Hard rain and cold winds kept many indoors

On a narrow strip of land leading to the sea.

Remained undisturbed

Overlooking boat slips and a waterway.

Slumped over patio furniture

He looked fake

The body

Partly obscured.

After an autopsy on Saturday
