Two Dead, Assault Suspected

Two beloved family pets were found dead in their homes this morning.

Butternut, tadpole, of Albert Lea, lived a short life. She enjoyed music and often swam about while the piano that served as the foundation to her home was being played.

“Butternut always seemed to enjoy the music I played, and never yelled at me when I hit a wrong note,” said Lani, neighbor of Butternut. “her dancing was beautiful.”

The coroner stated the cause of Butternut's death was loneliness, as the autopsy revealed a broken heart. Butternut’s husband and lifelong friend, Peanut, passed away only a few months ago of natural causes.

Joshua, fish, also of Albert Lea, was found dead after a short but intense search of his home and surrounding area.
"Joshua and I grew up together," said Noah, friend of Joshua. "we'll miss him a lot."

Joshua is survived by his wife, Samanthapoo, who was unavailable for interview as she is being questioned by the authorities.

The cause of Joshua’s death is yet to be determined. The investigation continues, and domestic assault is suspected.

Funerals were held for both Joshua and Butternut this morning, and they were laid to rest at Flush O' the Toilet cemetery at approximately 10 am.
