[Anyone turning to the local news station will see the image of a young red-head standing inside one of the larger grocery stores on the island. there is a slight crowd in the background, with a few curious spectators snapping photos from their phones. Slightly out of breath, she gives the camera her best news caster 'serious' face, the microphone held low in her hand. It looks as if they might be tucked behind a rack trying to avoid the eyesight of someone in the store.]

Good afternoon, New Moore. This is Rosie Sparks with your breaking news! We're here at Juanes, where just moments ago a young woman mysteriously collapsed in the midst of her shopping.

[The camera sneaks a quick look to the unconscious woman, apparently in her mid-30s, is lying on the ground amongst overturned groceries and an empty basket. A few people in emergency uniforms are kneeling beside her. The camera quickly pans back to Rosie.]

Tragically, it appears the young woman, I'm told her name was Tabitha Greene, was another victim in the mysterious chain of deaths police have been calling 'aneurysm attacks'. Could there be more to this story than there seems?  You have told us you believe so, and New Moore, we are here to find out the cold, hard truth, for y- Hey!

[The news cast is interrupted, a hand suddenly covering the camera. There is a short bout of arguing about disrupting police work and respect before the news switches on to the next story instead. It seems Rosie's coverage has been cut short. But for the curious of mind, perhaps a trip to Juanes is in order?]

[OOC Note: A log for the scene of the crime will be going up shortly. This will be an interaction hot zone for ANYONE in New Moore, whether the morbidly curious, the accidental scene stumbler, the innocent bystander or the curious sleuth. All will be welcome and encouraged to poke around.]

Who: Anyone who wishes to stop by
What: The fourth death purportedly via Aneurysm
When: Friday Afternoon
Where: The produce section of Juanes
Warnings: NPC Death, crime scene

At 2:30 pm, Tabitha Greene, a young black woman of thirty-four, unexpectedly collapsed while shopping for corn in the produce section of Juanes. Surprised, horrified and curious spectators gathered around the body until the paramedics, and later police, could arrive at the scene. Among them, Rosie Sparks who managed  a brief news report before being cut off and escorted off the premise by a pair of officers.

It may be difficult to approach the actual scene of the 'crime' without a badge, which in and of itself is odd. If this woman is suspected to have died of natural causes, why is there a seemingly increased fuss over the body? Why hasn't she been moved? How can they know what she died of if no autopsy has yet to be performed?

It is certainly an odd situation. One that could warrant a bit of nosy detective work for aspiring, curious minds. Or maybe just some blatant gawking.

Whatever the case, there is a dead woman in the grocery store, and quite a bit of fuss along with it.
