Sexy Chef Dead

Damn, so sad!

Why was he living in a shithole?

Drug problems?

RIP.

Sounds like a Chris Burrous type of situation.

How is it possible that you're a chef for a famous NYC restaurant, but you have to live in a halfway house?

Unbelievable.

Awful, poor guy. RIP

Very sad. Someone was trolling for early morning, post-shift drugs. RIP.

He wasn't living at the hostel. He was buying and using heroin there.

"The chef, who lived in Woodside, Queens..."

Hostel is in Elmhurst.

Where is the [italic]sexy[/italic] chef?

He had at least one roommate in the place where he lived in Queens. Can't a chef at a fancy restaurant afford his own place?

Did he quaff of the peen?

Many people who work in restaurants have roommates, rents are expensive.

He wasn’t a dishwasher, hon.

But if you spend your money on drugs, Dear.....

[quote]He was buying and using heroin there.

Do you know it was heroin or is that a guess? I would have figured meth or cocaine.

[quote]Kamway, located near LaGuardia Airport, is listed as a hostel by Travelocity.com, where a double room can be booked for $89 a night.

What the hell was he doing in a place like this? How depressing. And what was the cause of death? It does sound Chris Burrous-ish.

Wow he's average looking.

He didn’t live at the Hostel, he went there for drugs and prostitutes.

Male or female prostitutes?

FEMALE prostitutes frequent there.

This just in:

[quote]ABC7 reported that the cause of death is not clear, but it appears to be “suspicious.” The television station did not explain what factors made the death questionable, but did report that the body was found in a building on 77th Street in Elmhurst, Queens, “a hotel that is a known drug and prostitution location.”

Also. He was reported missing when he failed to show up at work Monday and was found dead on Wednesday. So he had been dead in that room for at least two days, maybe more.

He was last seen on Saturday night after his shift at the restaurant and found dead on Wednesday night. So dead in the room at least 3 days.

I’m still waiting for the “sexy” part.

[quote] He was last seen on Saturday night after his shift at the restaurant and found dead on Wednesday night. So dead in the room at least 3 days

No, not necessarily.

R22 Last seen Saturday night. Didn’t show up for work Monday morning. Found dead Wednesday night. That’s at least Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday he was dead.

It’s three days he wasn’t seen at work or by anyone willing to speak to police so far. One can be alive and unseen. I’m doing it right now!

An online hookup gone awry?

[quote]One can be alive and unseen.

R24 His roommates (i.e. the people he lives with) hadn’t seen him since Saturday night.

Therefore dead?

Was he cut or uncut?

[quote]where a double room can be booked for $89 a night

Even a Motel 6 costs more than that.

Italian newspapers are now reporting that he died of a fentanyl overdose. The hooker/pusher who sold/gave him the drugs has been arrested, and is suspected of having sold the same dodgy drugs to two other people, both of whom were also found dead. Apparently the chef thought he was being sold liquid molly (how the Italian newspapers know this I have no idea).

R30 Do you have a link?

It was a female prostitute. As the cops were questioning her, the chef's decomposing body was lying under a blanket in the room, reeking.

This is WILD. From CNN:

(CNN)A sex worker in New York faces drug-related charges in connection with the deaths of three men, including Cipriani Dolci chef Andrea Zamperoni.

Angelina Barini made her first appearance in US District Court in Manhattan on Monday, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.

She is charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one or more substances containing fentanyl, according to court documents.

A complaint implicates Barini, a 41-year-old Queens resident, in the recent deaths of three men identified as John Does.

A New York Police Department spokesperson confirmed that one of them is Zamperoni, who was the head chef of Cipriani Dolci, a renowned Venetian restaurant inside New York City's Grand Central Terminal.

The body of the 33-year-old Italian citizen was found in a Queens hotel room on August 21 as part of an investigation into lethal drug overdoses in New York City hotels, according to the complaint.

When law enforcement showed up to a room at the Kamway Lodge in Elmhurst, Barini answered the door and quickly shut it, the complaint says.

Shortly afterward, she opened the door and law enforcement "smelled a strong odor" consistent "a dead body and burning incense," the complaint says. In the corner of the room, authorities saw what appeared to be a human foot sticking out of a garbage can stuffed with bed linens.

Law enforcement also found what appeared to be a glass pipe commonly used to smoke drugs and an American Express credit card in Zamperoni's name.

Zamperoni was pronounced dead that night. An external examination revealed no external trauma and a toxicology report is pending, the complaint says.

According to the complaint, surveillance video from the motel appears to show Barini entering the motel with a man matching Zamperoni's description at 4:58 a.m. on August 18.

Surveillance further showed Barini leave the hotel room at 1:30 p.m., retrieve a garbage can from an alleyway outside and return to the room. Surveillance video shows that more people entered and exited the room between August 18 and August 21, including Barini but not Zamperoni, according to the complaint.

On August 21, Barini waived her Miranda rights and chose to speak with law enforcement authorities, the complaint says. She told authorities she "met a man from Italy" on August 18, they went to the motel room and he paid her for sex.

She further said the body was wrapped and placed in a garbage bag and other men associated with the pimp came to the room "to discuss whether to cut up the body."

While executing a search warrant in the motel room on August 23, authorities recovered a purple liquid in a glass with powder at the top of the liquid and around the rim, glass pipes for smoking narcotics, bottles of bleach and bleach-covered towels, electronics, a power saw and an empty suitcase, according to the complaint.

More:

The investigation found that Barini agreed with others and took steps to distribute narcotics to multiple clients, the complaint says, and that conspirators "occasionally" took the victims' property once they were drugged and incapacitated.

John Doe-1's body was found on July 4 in a hotel in Astoria, dead from what the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said was acute intoxication due to the combined effects of alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl, the complaint said.

John Doe-2 was found dead July 11 in a Woodside motel from as a result of fentanyl intoxication, according to the complaint.

In both instances, surveillance video appears to show Barini entering the hotels with the victims.

cross post

So the hooker hung out in the room with the decomposing body for how many days? Put the body in a garbage can while the hooker and the pimp discussed how to get rid of it? Apparently the plan was to cut the guy up with a power saw and stuff it in a suitcase.

This was the original thread, R35.

The chef is hot.

The glamorous woman of mystery

R38, The chef was an idiot.

He was by all accounts a sweet guy. We really have a drug problem in this country, guys.

If he was a SWERF, and I’m not saying he was despite all the evidence, then any homicidal action against him could be shown to be justifiable.

[quote]He was by all accounts a sweet guy. We really have a drug problem in this country, guys.

So it's not what you did, but if you are nice or not?

Yes, it is.

What a sad and tawdry end. Dead in a cheap hostel room in a garbage can for 3 days with a hooker. Who hangs around in a motel room with a decomposing body for 3 days anyway??

I guess it depends on how much laundry you've got.

We are all sluts after all.

He may be dumb but I would still let him fuck me in the ass.
