You know how I love a mystery and yes I seemed to be obsessed with the strange case of body parts found in a Suitcase near the Goodwill Store in San Francisco and how the one suspect was released and not charged.
Well this case may never be solved.
The suspect Andrus died early this morning after being release nearly a week ago.
It seems he died of complications from a drug overdose.

Main Suspect In Suitcase Murder Has Died
Mark Jeffrey Andrus, the main suspect in the gruesome
'suitcase murder' case, has died reports The Chronicle.
Andrus was admitted to a hospital on Saturday morning for
drug-related reasons and died after going to septic shock, according to the
report. He was arrested on January 30 as the primary suspect in the case of the
human remains found in a suitcase in SoMa(South of Market Street area), but
later released with no charges filed due to insufficient evidence. Despite
being released, Andrus was still considered a suspect in the case.
The SFPD has not confirmed the report that Andrus has died,
releasing only the following statement through a spokesperson: "Mr. Andrus
is a free man he is not in police custody. I do not have any information on his
whereabouts."
Update [4:30]: The SFPD has confirmed that they've learned
of Andrus' death. His public defender, Jeff Adachi, said, "Mark was a good
person and I'm very sad to learn of his passing." Authorities have still not identified the
remains found in the piece of luggage last month, although there is speculation
that it is Andrus' former roommate Omar Shahwan.
