LAGUNA HILLS -- Police have arrested an 81-year-old man on suspicion of killing his 94-year-old roommate at a nursing home in Laguna Hills.
A disturbance was reported around 11:20 p.m. Friday at the Palm Terrace Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, located in the 2400 block of Calle Aragon.
Authorities say the 81-year-old William Leo McDougall struck his 94-year-old roommate, Manh Ban Nguyen, over the head several times with a a bar.
Nguyen was taken to Saddleback Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
"What prompted the attack is still under investigation. Obviously, this is very unusual," Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.
@dyslexia,
How'd you know it was prune juice?
I see no mention of prune juice anywhere.
@Reyn,
Good detective work Reyn!
Got Dys backed into a corner. All we got to do is wait for the Agatha Christie based salon confession as we sit with the usual suspects and you interrogating Dys with this new evidence!
@Reyn,
I made that part up. maybe he just snored loudly.
@dyslexia,
You need to hire Perry Mason dear Dyslexia! And quick!
@tsarstepan,
zar, you stalking me? uh, are you? I know where you live zar. backed into a corner! my ass zar. I'm gonna back you into a corner. damnit zar I buy you books and I buy you books and all you do is chew on the covers. well zar, I've had it with you. I mean it!
So you getting any rain in Manhattan?
@Phoenix32890,
you been away Phoenix so you probably don't, there's a shortage of Sodium Pentothal right now so all executions have been put off. Perhaps they could just not give him his flomax.
@Phoenix32890,
what the hell are you doing up at this hour, you stuck in the wrong time zone?
His roommate was 94 years old, for crying out loud. That's 13 years older. I bet he wouldn't have pulled that with somebody his own age.
This is elder abuse, that's what it is! I am outraged! Outraged, I tell you!!!
@Phoenix32890,
well Phoenix, you did just spend some time in Sedona where time is measured by the alignment of the planets rather than GMT. I suggest you have a cuppa Celestial Seasonings Tea, join an antigravity yoga class and super-glue a crystal to your forehead.
@dyslexia,
Did you know that prunes are a
type of plum, from which both the dried wrinkly things we know as prunes and prune juice are made?
I didn't, 'til recently.
@dyslexia,
Some rain on the weekend and perhaps some more rain today.
As for the corner chewing? Some books taste like bubble gum. Good source for dietary fiber in my literary diet!

I think you're made that up, too.
That sort of thing used to get me into trouble a lot here.
@Reyn,
Reyn, didn't you used to have the exclusive concession rights on so-called "human interest" stories on A2k? How d'ya feel about dyslexia horning in your territory?
An 81-year-old man killed his 94-year-old roommate in a nursing home? As Calamity said, maybe he was crying too loud. That's very sad, you know. Old people don't get on too well with roommates. How will we ever know the motive?
Just gave him a few whacks with an iron bar? At least now he'll get a private room, but in a jail. Good place to get rid of all that anxiety, and all over prune juice.
So now I am still three hours out of whack.
