Oh come on they sit right on Springfield park. Maybe not technically, but that's definitely s'field in the real world.

I guess it would be considered a part of the neighborhood formerly known as Sugar Hill.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Foul play is suspected in the death of a man found near some Springfield apartments this morning.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, a maintenance worker found the man in a car this morning at the Centennial Townhomes West on Broad Street.

Police do not believe the man was a resident at the apartments, but the investigation is continuing.

Police do not know how long the man was in the car, a black Chevrolet Impala.

The man's identity has not been released, as police are searching for next of kin to notify.

If you know anything that could help the investigation, call our partner First Coast Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS (8477).  You will remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.

Too bad your book is only written by a daily drive-by.

I'm sorry I thought the title of this thread was "Man found dead in car..." but I guess I could have been mistaken.

yes, and then it was a link with a question of whether or not this was springfield.  some of us were answering that question.  there was no desire to belittle the death of a person.

It's alright sportmotor must've been in a bad mood or something. I don't think anyone's happy a guy died.

146,000 people die every day, are we just not supposed to post on message boards?

My sympathies to the victim's friends/family, but I didn't know him. Again, I don't think anyone is happy a guy died, but I don't see where anyone is really being disrespectful either.

I think you have made your point and I think SM and I get it (not speaking for him) but it doesnt change the fact that OP made a cursory mention of the death in the title and then made the post about bad reporting, for a second thread about a murder.  Just seems like an odd trend on the board.
