Assassination of Theodore Wheatley

On June 8, 2021 at 11:47 PM Minister Theodore Wheatley was found dead in his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle on the side of a rural road in Brun-South. Wheatley was on his way home from a Thwomp Pride Parade in Abester. The cause of death has been determined as bleeding out due to a bullet wound from earlier that day.

Wheatley was scheduled to give a speech at the parade to celebrate finally achieving the creation of the Ministry of Thwomp & Happiness, however, before he could start the speech, he was shot with a .38-caliber Colt Police Positive Special revolver by Anti-Thwompist Neo-Nazi, [REDACTED].

[REDACTED]'s bullet lodged in Wheatley's chest after after penetrating Wheatley's smart phone and passing through a thick (50 pages) single-folded copy of the speech titled "Thwompist Cause Greater Than Any Individual," which he was carrying in his jacket.

Wheatley assured the crowd he was all right, then ordered police to take charge of [REDACTED] and to make sure no violence was done to them. He then delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt. He spoke for 90 minutes before completing his speech, but he refused medical attention. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Gamers, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Thwomp."
