Sorry, should have been more detailed. They (the fans) are discussing it in the messages boards. Nothing Official

The guy on the Cubs board said he has a friend that lives in the neighborhood and that it was Beck's house they removed the body from. Just a fan board, but the guy who posted does have almost 3,000 posts.
