“Pants on the Ground” Singer Found Dead
(Left) Police examine the crime scene. (Right) Larry Platt on American Idol.
“There were six or seven gang bangers in baggy pants hanging out in the parking lot, and this old guy walked up to them and started singing and dancing,” said Marcus Lee, the store’s owner. “When he got to the second verse, they started beating on him.”
“I called the police, but by the time they arrived you couldn’t even recognize his face because of all the blood.”
A memorial for Platt is planned for this Saturday.
Gosh, not all Canadian officers are mounties.

KAY so to get the facts straightened out hereee,
1) first of all i didnt read all the comments, so if any shhits been sorted out already i dont give a fuck so calm your shit.
2) im from canada, ive never even been out of canada… aaaand ive never seen the RCMP. -.- americans no offence but some of you are fucking retarded. canada is/ looks JUSt like the US, but imagine, a bit less crowded and less messy. and who gives a fuck if it is the RCMP or even any other canadian police officer?
3) he was a HUGE publicity and media hit, if he died, it would be HUGE news, just so the media can make some more dough, cause its dumb shit like that makes the media world run. also, hes not dead cause he was on american idol a few days ago…. dumbasses go fucking check your sources.
4) “there were six or seven gangbangers..” REALLY MAN, REALLY? yeah Yoru FUCKING RETARDED,fucking idiots.

I fucking love you for saying this.
I’m Canadian too.
Like you said, some Americans are just fucking retarded. They think Canadians are stupid? I’ll bet anyone any money that 99% of the Americans that posted on here didn’t know that if the Canadians didn’t help with the contribution of uranium relating to the atomic bomb, the Americans would never have built the bomb on time, therefore making World War II last way longer than it should have. Just be fucking happy that Canadians are here to make the world a better place. Because Americans sure as hell aren’t.
Sorry… I just got way off topic. But yeah. I was just getting annoyed by all the hate against Canadians.

i’m canadian and truthfully i couldn’t tell you if the police are canadian or not, but thats beside the point… this article is obviously fake; 1: he was on american idol 4 days ago….; 2: this is the only article about this, if it were true it would be mentioned on the news; 3: the article just sucks. sorry, but if you’re going to pull some kind of stunt like this, it would make more sense to leave out the irony of him being killed by guys with pants on the ground. the story just sounds fake, and the writing style is sloppy. if this is your career (as sad as it is), i suggest a journalism class.

I love how much you people used the work dumbass. Anyway, he’s not dead. He’s not the best singer, but he’s song’s catchy. This story is bogus. Oh, and to the person a few above me, his song’s actually for sale on itunes so … maybe not a hit, but it’s something.

People are speaking their minds out here, but it gets real annoying when people post shit to other people, because THEY are speaking THEIR minds, so maybe you should just shut up and quit telling people off, cause they’re just going to do the same thing anyways. Smart.

This is so sad. They were such cowards that it wasn’t just ONE guy who beat him up, instead it was a whole gang of weak minded pathetic individuals who wanted to be tough and show a man up. Just because he was being random and trying to be humorous. SICK HUMAN BEINGS! This is why gangs are such CRAP. THEY CAN’T DO ANYTHING ON THEIR OWN. pathetic.

The morons who own this site should be shot on sight just for creating such a fucked up rumor pertaining to someone’s life (or death). I see your imbeciles even took the time to falsify the captions of a photo to make your bullshit more believable. I hope someone hacks the shit out of this site and forces you to shut it down. Punk bitches.

Oh yeah……one more thing, I live in ATLANTA and NOBODY heard anything like this nor has it been published in the AJC. Now, to further substantiate my statement, the officers in the picture are NOT even APD. The badges and the uniforms are nothing like the APD’s……..that is some foreign entity, not the police squad of Atlanta. This is bullshit.

Why are you all arguing about whether the police are Canadian or not?
I would think you Americans would be happy that Canada has sent police officers to help investigate Larry’s death.
