San Francisco body-in-suitcase case ruled a homicide
Press Democrat ^ | 11 Nov. 2015

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Medical Examiner says a man whose dismembered body was found in a suitcase is a homicide victim.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1DGxg6F) Tuesday that authorities have not said if they've located a crime scene in the killing of 58-year-old Omar Shahwan.

The determination means authorities believe Shahwan was killed before he was dismembered.

His headless torso was stuffed in a suitcase and left in front of a store about a week after he left his suburban San Francisco home on Jan. 21. His leg was tossed into a nearby trash bin, and his head and hands remain missing. A week later the suitcase was found. No arrests have been made.

A suspect died in a hospital of drug-related complications in February.

Wow! They are good. I would have thought suicide or at least natural causes.

They're smart! Its a very common problem of people getting into suitcases themselves for fun, and then spontaneously becoming dismembered. Happens all the time!

That’s not a carry on. Samsonite?

I believe these suitcases have been devouring bodies for decades.

It’s San Francisco, it may be a suicide.

There was a spy a few years ago who was dead, in a zippered duffel bag (wherever) in the UK... they ruled it suicide

Man, those San Fransicko govt types are the best.

Where do they get these geniuses?

Never in a million years would an ordinary medico ever
have guessed a headless corpse was an actual murder.

I just hope L/E doesn’t try to blame it on an illegal
committing an act of love (sob)....just here for a better life (sniffle).
