San Francisco, CA—The skeleton of Japanese expatriate Pac Man was found near a blue throbbing labyrinth today at 6:45AM, leading police to believe that his wife may have played a role in the death.
Though they had a child together, Pac Man and Ms. Pac Man never really got along, and the years of frustration and bickering have culminated in the apparent murder of Pac Man by his wife. Police have surmised that Ms. Pac Man somehow led her estranged husband into an acid bath, leaving only his perfectly cleaned skeleton behind.

Neighbors of the Pac Man's insist that Ms. Pac Man is innocent, and that there were plenty of ghosts that wanted Pac Man dead, at any cost. They insisted that decades of power-pill-induced ghost consumption made Pac Man countless enemies in the Pac Man-eating ghost community, citing Blinky's siblings alone account for several hundred revenge-bent apparitions with an axe to grind.
Their son, Pac Man Jr., is currently being cared for by Child Services, as his mother is sought for information regarding the death of her husband.
