Los Angeles - Muppet star Kermit The Frog was found dead this morning in a local park known to be frequented by gay men. The cause of death is believed to be an apparent murder-suicide.Kermit’s body was found by a jogger at approximately 5:30 a.m.. He was completely naked and DNA evidence found traces of semen on his person.
The case took an even stranger twist when Fozzy Bear, who worked with Kermit on the hit show, was found dead in his Malibu home just a few hours later. Fozzy was found by his maid unconscious with several empty prescription drug bottles as well as alcohol on his bedside table. Fozzy expired before the ambulance arrived and the emergency team could revive him. He allegedly left behind a suicide note the contents of which could not be released because of the ongoing investigation.
Kyle Wissler of the Los Angeles County Coroners Office delivered a brief statement for the media outside of his office.
“The body of Mr. Kermit The Frog was found early this morning in Rock Hudson Park, just west of Los Angeles. The cause of death is believed to have been erotic asphyxiation. There is evidence to suggest Kermit had engaged in sexual intercourse prior to his death. Fibers found around Kermit's neck have matched those taken from a tie found at the apparent suicide scene of Fozzy The Bear. I will not be able to answer any questions until the investigation has been completed.”
Kermit and Fozzy were rumored to have been involved in a tempestuous homosexual relationship until Kermit ended things in January. Fozzy allegedly threatened to out his co-star and even briefly left the show after the breakup.
During taping this past week, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better. Until this morning’s gruesome discovery.
“I’m devastated.” said a teary eyed Miss Piggy. “Everyone was getting along, and things were better on the set than they’d been in a long time. I just don’t know where we can go from here.”
“The Muppet show” has been placed on an indefinite hiatus.
