Hassan Whiteside found a dead parrot in his yard, and the Miami Heat center took to Snapchat to launch a CSI-inspired case to find out its cause of death. There were eyewitnesses (koi fish) at the scene, but they were hesitant to respond with the cameras rolling. “They’ve been in the streets too long,” Whiteside noted. It’s unclear if they will be willing to talk in the future.
Hassan Whiteside launched a CSI-inspired investigation into a parrot’s death on his front lawn
The investigation is still ongoing.
With the koi pleading the fifth, Detective Whiteside looked for blood splatter on the walls. He couldn’t find anything, ruling out a head-on collision. The victim also didn’t have any wounds, meaning it wasn’t attacked by another animal.
Whiteside then interviewed Rosco (a dog statue that is in no way an alive creature), but he also chose to plead the fifth (by default I guess).
A second visit to the snitchless group of koi brought a runner this time, a key suspect in the case! Whiteside intends to bring him in for questioning.
**UPDATE**
Whiteside confirms that a white koi fish and a bulldog are the two main suspects:
As of Sunday afternoon, Whiteside is still calling the death of the parrot an open investigation.
Whiteside made sure to shout-out the animated movie Rio on this sad parrot death day. SB Nation would like to echo that sentiment.
More details will be updated as they become available.
