Mr Mousovic found dead


Pursuant to the Indictment issued on 8 Janurary 2007 against Musco Mousovic, the Tribunal issues the following statement:

At approximately 13.00 hours in the afternoon of 14 January 2007, the Accused, Mr Mouscovic, was found dead in the premises of The Tribunal. The cause of his death is unknown. Due to the untimely death of the Accused, proceedings will now be terminated.


FACTS

The Tribunal was informed of the reappearance of Moucovic and promptly investigated. Officer of the Tribunal, Cat, was seen playing with the corpse of the deceased. Whether Cat is guilty of the crime of desecrating a corpse has yet to be conformed.


Mr Mousovic's body was found lying beneath a chair in the Living Room. He lay on his side, and his four limbs were stiff in a tense posture. His eyes were still open, but he was no longer breathing. In order to determine whether Mr Mousovic had indeed passed away, The Tribunal poked his corpse with the Camera used to capture photographic evidence. There was no response.


There were no signs of external injuries or wounds on the corpse of Mr Mousovic. The suspected killing by Cat could not be confirmed. The Tribunal is not aware of any illness or health problems that Mr Mouscovic suffered prior to his death. Nor is The Tribunal of any mental health problems that may have triggered Mr Mousovic to take his own life. It is therefore presumed that Mr Mousovic died of natural causes.

Attempts were contemplated to contact the family of the Deceased, however this was hindered by communication hurdles. The Tribunal decided to give Mr Mousovic proper burial, and his corpse was scooped up with the help of Jar (the same Jar used to capture him a few days earlier).

The Tribunal searched the Woods of Clingendael for a quiet place as the final resting place of the Deceased. Fear of vandals and hungry Dogs, or other wild Beasts, desecrating the corpse even more were taking into account.

The Deceased was lowered into a carefully dug hole underneath a tree, and subsequently earth and leaves were used to enclose the grave. Since the religion affiliation of the Deceased was unclear, The Tribunal did not conduct any elaborate ritual or ceremony. Besides the Tribunal, no one else was present at the ceremony.

HELD
Following the death of the Accused, The Tribunal must thereby conclude the proceedings against Mr Mousovic.

Though short lived, Mr Mousovic will be much missed.
