Philadelphia hotel fire is murder cover-up
On Saturday, the local fire department was called to the hotel because of an eighth-floor fire. It was put out quickly and limited to Brady's room. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey told the local ABC affiliate, "The fire was probably set to cover up the homicide. That's not all that unusual in cases like that." Information about the suspect hasn't been released.

What Evil lurks in the Hearts of Man ? Hope they find this Killer, he/she should be
brought to Justice and Punished severely ! I am sorry for all the parties involved
in this Tragedy, especially Mr. Brady's Family.

My condolences to the loved ones. Yet why is this story further sensationalized with a photo of an obvious blast scene that had nothing to do with the hotel fire that covered up a murder?

OK AOL, please tell us why you chose the picture of what looks like a very devastating fire at the beginning of this story, only to find out that the fire was contained to the hotel room? The picture you used makes it look like the entire city of Philly is going up in flames. Nice!

What a tragedy. Seemed like a good man. Obviously he met
someone and brought them back to the hotel. There's a
fuller story coming. I hope the family is prepared.

The picture did confuse me, also. It is of a forest fire in Santa Barbara, CA, and has nothing to do with the tragedy and fire in Philadelphia. Definitely a slip-up by the editor or proofreader (are there such nowadays with instant computer-to-copy?).

The picture was only for sensationalism...a hook, so to speak. Where are AOL's limits???

I doubt it was a "slip up" they knew exactly what they were doing

My god...do the work-study kids at Gadling really expect us to believe a photo of the side of a hill on fire is a Philadelphia hotel?

AOL has really stooped to another low by using sensationalism to lure a reader to a story. Time for new management at AOL. May I apply for the job? Oh wait...I live in the USA, so I guess that rules me out.

My Email software on AOL is a disaster! Those "incredimail figures" are ANNOYING and INTRUKSIVE and what the heck has that huge fire got to do with a small Hotel fire in one room? AOL is really starting to get on the one nerve I have left!

You mean commas, right?
