The lights are on
Have you played Persona 4? You should. It's awesome. It's basically a 100-hour-long murder mystery, and it all kicks off with a scene that has now played out in the real world in Michigan.
Persona 4's first mysterious murder comes in the form of a body found hanging from a telephone pole and with no clear signs of violence done against it. WXYZ reports that a disturbingly similar situation has arisen in Oak Park, Michigan, where the body of a man wearing only underwear and a t-shirt was found hanging from the top of a 1,000-foot broadcast tower.
So if Atlus' JRPG is any indication of what's going on in this case, where should police begin looking next? In Persona 4, a group of plucky high-schoolers journey into a strange, psychologically-driven world that exists inside of a television set in a local electronics store. I don't want to try to do the police officers' jobs for them, but they may want to stake out local strip malls.

(shudder) Well that's creepy.
That has to be on my top list of weirdest deaths ever.
That's creepy.....life imitating art? Or coinkydink?
Either WXYZ is a funny call code...
Weird that I live in Michigan and this is the first I've heard of this story.
Geez, that is very disturbing. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of why (and how) this occured.
wouldnt someone have seen?cctv? and i dont see how you can blame the game for this because if the killer didnt do this it would be something as bad instead
Strange.
Weird. Just weird. Oh and also extremely sick.
The Japanese do enjoy being theatric when it comes to suicides, that would be my first guess. A fan of the games, bored with life.
Was it foggy?
