Chromie: Dead Squid Wreaks Revenge on Japanese

Rotten squid gas may have killed 3 crewmembers on ill-fated ship


HAMADA, Shimane -- Three crewmembers found dead on a South Korean freighter that washed ashore in Shimane Prefecture on Sunday may have died after inhaling toxic gas generated from rotten squid organs, local Japan Coast Guard (JCG) officials said.

The Hamada Coast Guard Office is questioning the captain of the freighter who survived.

The vessel left a South Korean port last Saturday on a trial operation and ended up running into a breakwater in a fishing port in Ota, Shimane Prefecture, on Sunday, after apparently drifting into the Sea of Japan, according to JCG officials.

Three crewmembers were found dead in two storage rooms of the freighter and its skipper was unconscious in one of the rooms. The three are believed to have died at around 2 p.m. on Saturday. JCG officers found rotten internal squid organs in storage rooms where the three men were found dead.

Investigators suspect that the three crewmembers died from either an oxygen shortage or inhalation of carbon monoxide that had been generated from the rotten squid organs. The coast guard office said carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide were detected in the cabin.

Zombie Dog IV: Ungar's Alive!
Saturday, September 1, 2001 - USA

ISSAQUAH, WA — No, we don't have Stephen King on the payroll. This stuff really happens...

Not to be outdone by last week's Zombie Cat, nor even the original Zombie Dog from earlier this year, "Ungar" the 16-year-old Pekingese/
Poodle/Dachshund has recently joined the world of the living-dead-living.

Editor's note: If you recall, last season the canine fad was jumping over cliffs; this season it looks like resurrection is all the rage.

When Lynn and Mike Ahlstrom, who were caring for their neighbors' pet Ungar, heard a sharp yelp Friday night, August 14 at 8:30pm, they weren't sure what to expect. Living at the base of Squawk Mountain State Park had acclimated the neighborhood to witnessing unusual scenes of the local wildlife, but seldom have there been attacks on people or family pets.

But upon looking out the second-story window, Lynn saw a cougar walking up the long, steep gravel driveway with bite-sized Ungar in its chops.

The Eastside Journal reports that according to Mike Ahlstrom, the cougar dropped the lifeless dog on the side of the driveway and gnawed at it a bit, then slinked away. Mr. Ahlstrom hopped in his car and moved slowly down the driveway with the headlights on, but Ungar didn't budge.

Ungar's dead.

After alerting the neighbors to bring their pets and children inside, Mr. Ahlstrom stood on the lookout for the beast for about half an hour beside Ungar's body. He was joined by a neighbor.

Suddenly there was an eerie groan that seemed to emanate from the bowels of the Earth itself. The neighbor bent down to touch the corpse, and suddenly it leaped up, startling the two men.

"Ungar's alive!" said the neighbor, according to Mr. Ahlstrom.
