RSSWoman’s Body Found Stuffed In Giant Rubbermaid Container On Bed Of Dry Ice
Police found the body of 33-year-old aspiring model Monique Trepp in a California hotel room where her boyfriend had lived for three years, reports the Associated Press.
Her body was stuffed into a giant Rubbermaid container and kept cool with dry ice. Details as to what happened are still murky, but the police suspect she died of a drug overdose, and they’re still trying to decide who, if anyone, they’ll press charges against, and for what crime.
According to the article, friends of the couple said Trepp died about a year ago and her boyfriend held a wake for her then—and since then has been keeping her chilled in plastic, apparently.

Hideo Nakata: A Brief Overview For Beginners
Don’t know who Hideo Nakata is? You’ll probably find a more comprehensive answer if you spend ten or fifteen minutes on Wikipedia, but if you just want the short answer, check out CNN’s brief feature over the Japanese horror director who’s most famous in the U.S. for the “Ring” movies and “Dark Water”.
Born in Okayama, Japan, in 1961, Nakata enrolled at the University of Tokyo to study journalism.
On graduating he went on to work in Japan’s Nikkatsu Studios, the same place where renowned director Akira Kurosawa started out. He didn’t’ start out aiming to make horror films, but it was Nikkatsu Studios that Nakata met Hiroshi Takahashi, the screenplay writer for “Ringu.”

French mayor says cemetery full; don’t die or you will be punished
The mayor of Sarpourenx, France, which I’m pretty sure translates to “suffering” or “the soap lady” (my French, she is no good), has declared the village cemetery off limits to everyone else planning on being buried there.
In an ordinance posted in the council offices, Mayor Gerard Lalanne told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that “all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish.”
It added: “Offenders will be severely punished.”
The banning is at least in part a political maneuver, meant to protest the fact that an adjoining village refused to let Sarpourenx acquire some adjoining private land to expand the cemetery.
There’s no word on where the dead will have to go, but I’d suggest burying them in the neighboring town’s public square.
