Disney town sees death for 2nd time in week

CELEBRATION, Fla. — Just days after reporting its first homicide, the town Disney built is investigating another death. This time, a man killed himself after shooting at deputies.

Craig Foushee, 52, barricaded himself in a home Thursday for more than 14 hours, according to an Osceola County Sheriff's Office report. He shot at deputies several times, but deputies never returned fire because they couldn't get a clear shot. No deputies were injured.

Police entered the home early Friday and found him dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain said there was no connection between Foushee and Matteo Patrick Giovanditto, who was found slain in a condominium Tuesday. That homicide was the first for Disney's master-planned, picture-perfect central Florida community with 11,000 residents.

I await the first hip hop song about being born on the wrong side of the tracks in Celebration.

So that is a rather bizarre headline - what is up with MSNBC

The Walt Disney Company is pulling out of Celebration, the squeaky-clean town of manicured front lawns, brick-laid pedestrian streets and fake snow at Christmas that it created from scratch in central Florida as a bold experiment in town planning known as "new urbanism".

Confirming what many residents and business owners had feared for months, Disney announced that it has sold the core of the town to a New York-based property firm, Lexin Capital, for an undisclosed sum. With his three-fingered paw stuck in the air, Mickey Mouse is waving goodbye.
