I try to keep things upbeat and positive on this site, but I can’t ignore that the Osceola County Sheriff’s office is investigating a suspicious death in one of the condos on Water St. From the article:
The Sheriff’s Office hasn’t said whether they consider the case a homicide. But sheriff’s spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain said the deceased person did not commit suicide. Evidence inside the unit led investigators to label the death suspicious. She would not elaborate.
They aren’t releasing many details at this time. More to follow.
Update 30-Nov 10:00am: The Osceola County Sheriff’s Department is asking for community assistance in locating a 2008 black Chevy Corvette with Florida tag G130FU. If you locate this vehicle, do not touch it. Contact the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office immediately at (407)348-2222.
Update 30-Nov 11:45am: The Sheriff’s Department is now classifying this as a homicide based on evidence in the apartment. Changing title. Very unsettling.
Update 30-Nov 5:15pm: The Sheriff’s Department has located the vehicle in Kissimmee.
Update 30-Nov 10:00pm: The victim has been identified but the individual has not been named yet by law enforcement officials, so I’m holding off posting it for now. I never thought we’d be discussing a Celebration murder, but here we are.
Update 1-Dec 12:00pm: Osceola County Sheriff’s detectives have released the name of the Celebration homicide victim as Matteo P. Giovanditto, 58.
I’ve shared some of my own thoughts about the deceased in this entry.
