There's some weird shit going down on his FB. Some guy went live on his account and people are saying that same guy robbed Tyson's house while he was dying?

So this dude robbed Tyson Turk and Rachel Sellers, while Tyson was laying on his death bed. He took everything from them, even posters. Just let me or Rachel know if you know anything about him or where he is. His name is Chris Elliot, goes by animal. Thanks y'all.
R.i.p Tyson Turk
I truly can't even fathom all that's happened the past three days and now you are gone forever but you will NEVER be forgotten!
Love you and I can only find comfort in the fact you are no longer in pain here in this fucked up world we are still cursed to live in.
This guy is gonna get what's coming to him!
I can't believe this asshole went out of his way to make me believe his lies and talked to me on the phone.
I feel like an idiot for trusting him.
Justice for Tyson!!!

People are commenting on the FB live saying that Tyson hanged himself.

Very odd stuff on his FB...and some are commenting about his girlfriend in not-too-kind ways.

Here is one post about him hanging himself. A lot of people loved him.

Apparently, he hung himself at the shop last night. By all accounts, he is brain dead. So sorry, y'all

Did you see the red stain at the start of the FB live? I wonder what that is.

[Bewitchingstorm]

I did see that and wonder what it was. Blood or ink?

I'm sure it's ink.

I found his studio on FB



https://www.facebook.com/pages/Darks...17156145105251

https://www.instagram.com/tysonturk666/ - he posted a ton on instagram three days ago, I am assuming this is right before he hanged himself? He also posted a lot in the last while about people giving him food and drink - I wonder what was going on?

[Boston Babe 73]

They're accusing the guy the video of stealing from his shop, but it was ALL OVER social media for days, publicly, that the guy was in the hospital and brain dead. Anybody could have taken the opportunity to go rob the shop knowing that he was incapacitated and that his family would be at the hospital and distracted.

They're jumping to serious conclusions here.

This guy was the guy who does all of my neighbors tattoos. I saw it on her page, and immediately came here to see if there was a post. I will find out from my neighbor what happened.

Good deal

This is his partner and there is video on her FB of the shop that was robbed/trashed

Her video doesn't sit well with me. First off, she's fake crying. There's no tears which is fine on its own, but she's sounding like she's in cry mode most of it, but zero tears.

Then, someone robbing the place wouldn't be taking signage and boards off the walls. That looks more like a renovation project than a place that's been robbed.

It just doesn't sit right with me.

ETA: On August 2nd she posted a status about being on her way to set up a new shop and that she'll be back tattooing in no time

They broke up. She also posts that on August 2nd. Complaining about how Tyson only gave them (she and her daughter) $100 and took everything else.

Something really stinks about this one.

[TiffTurtle]

This is pretty crazy stuff! Something about a murder/suicide and an inside job?

I hate to say it, but I'm side eyeing the Ex Girlfriend. I don't know all of the specifics of their relationship, but going by her posts they broke up on the 2nd and not amicably. She left the shop determined to open her own. Then he ends up dead less than a week later and everything in the shop including fixtures and signage gets "stolen"? That stuff could come in handy in a new shop for her. Not to mention some start up cash from a Go Fund Me.

Now, I could be WAY off base with that. It could very well be a suicide because the relationship went south. But the video of the shop and stuff that was taken isn't normal.

[Bewitchingstorm]

In the video sounded like she is accusing the one guy of playing a part in Tyson's death. She has made some pretty serious allegations.

Yet another reason I'm side eyeing. Someone mentioned finding his motorcycle across the street too. So.... You steal a bunch of tattoo shop items and leave the bike behind? The bike would seem easier to unload for $$$$$. The objects of interest seem awfully specific to someone of a certain profession rather than a general robbery.

[judonnome]

Does anyone here personally know Tyson and Rachel? I do, and I was with Tyson the day before this happened. I am reading a lot of people commenting about Rachel being untrustworthy in this entire deal. If any of you actually know them personally, could you reach out to me? I would like to put some puzzle pieces of my own together, and I do not want to say my thoughts publicly.

[judonnome]

There are so many other posts that are not ok about all of this as well, that have since been taken down. There is some kind of lie or cover up here.

I admit, I do not know either of them personally. I actually made sure to point out that I don't know the specifics of their relationship, but was basing my thoughts on pure speculation based on the limited information provided in their Facebook posts.

There's a lot of this that happens on this site which contains a hefty amount of true crime content.

I'm not saying that there's anything underhanded happening here, but I will say that it's certainly not the first time we've seen an Ex (or even current partner) be less than truthful in order to turn a bad event in to a way of improving their own lives. There's just a few things about this that either don't make sense or just plain don't sit well with me.

I wish you luck. If you DO find anything solid out, feel free to update us here. We do get attached to these cases and prefer knowing the facts rather than speculation.

BTW

Welcome and sorry for your loss.

So the police reports are up

SUMMARY NARRATIVE
On Sunday August 6, 2017 at approx. 01:29hrs, Officer working N451 in marked unit# 218-0065, was dispatched to a Suicide Attempt call. Call details stated the following: TATTOO SHOP...CP STS THAT HE ARRIVED AT LOC AND FRIEND HAS HUNG HIMSELF...POSS SIG 12...MEDSTAR NTFD.


The reporting friend is Christopher Elliott.

And there is another report waiting approval, which I think is related to the robbery?

Normally, suicides by hanging are up pretty quick on ME site....but so far nothing.

People were also trying to accuse that guy of possibly killing him as well. If he was trying to kill him and make it look like a suicide, why would he call the cops and save him? He may have been brain dead, but he was still alive when he called for help.

This group of people are all about blaming and going after this guy when in reality he's the one that actually tried saving him. They really don't use common sense much, do they?

[Lily Rivers]

I agree w you Boston Babe it does look more like it's in the middle of a renovation than a robbery. No one is gonna take the time to climb onto the roof to steal a sign. I can't see anyone bothering to steal most of the items she mentioned, like posters & stuff. Maybe she had insurance & wanted to claim more items missing ??
And blaming the guy who did try to help save him, of stealing, is pretty messed up if he didn't do it.
