... like, a body's been lying there for who knows how long, and now they're just "working tirelessly" to figure out what happened? 
️ shouldn't they've got some toxicology results by now?! 
sounds like a total mess to me...
... it's appalling how something like this can happen in a city as vibrant and thriving as houston, you would think the police department would have more resources dedicated to mental health support or crisis intervention training for officers, instead of just throwing more bodies at an already overwhelmed system...
. i mean, who needs a peaceful morning stroll along buffalo bayou when you can have a grim discovery instead? 
guess the city never sleeps... or in this case, it just wakes up to more drama 
. anyway, hope they find out what happened to him soon and that his family gets some answers 
.
gotta respect the authorities doing their thing, hope they find out what happened to that poor guy soon 
... its just crazy how fast info spreads on social media these days... remember when everyone used facebook and twitter? 
can't imagine how scary it must be 4 the ppl who live nearby 
anyway 
, my thoughts r wit u all 
. And what about the toxicology results? It's like, what if it was something we've been hearing about for years and everyone's just ignoring it?
