Man Solves His Own 30-Year-Old Cold Case - In 1986, 21-year-old Edgar Latulip disappeared from Wateroo, Ontario, after suffering a head injury. After a recent suicide attempt, it was widely believed by his family that he had either committed suicide or something more sinister had happened to him. That was until February 2016, when a man living in the Niagara region began to have flashbacks that made him believe that he had been living a lie. This man shared his concerns with a social worker who began to investigate. Lo and behold, his identity was confirmed via a DNA test - the man was Edgar Latulip. His head injury had impaired his memory; forgetting who he was and who his family were, he created a new identity. 

Located in Tokyo, Japan, Alcatraz ER is a bizarre prison themed restaurant. Waitresses dresses as nurses and armed with handcuffs lead the patrons to a cell where they then take their order through the cell bars. The restaurant has a myriad of horror related drinks and meals, including cocktails served in syringes out of a severed mannequin head. In addition to the food, the restaurant also puts on obscure shows that aren’t for the faint of heart. Diners are often pulled from their cell by creepy clowns where they are then “experimented” on, often with fake penises or fake syringes.

After being adrift for several weeks, the remainder of the crew decided they would have to resort to cannibalism if any of them were to survive. In total, seven crew members were cannibalised, two of which were murdered by the other crew members after they had consumed all of the deceased crew men. 89 days after the Essex sank, the three surviving crew members aboard the small boat were rescued. Additionally, the three crew members left behind on Henderson Island were rescued by a ship called Surrey.

An x-ray showing needles that had broken off in the neck of a heroin addict. After the veins in the patient’s arms, legs, chest, abdomen and forehead had all collapsed, he began to inject himself subcutaneously. He then began to inject himself into the neck and would use the same needles until they broke off inside the skin. Broken needles inside the skin of drug users are not uncommon. One study indicated that at least 20% of drug users have experienced a needle breaking off inside the skin.
