An
actor has been found murdered at the rented home of Canadian talk-show host
George Stroumboulopoulos in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles,
police and the TV personality said on Friday.
The
body of Richard Hong, 41, was found at the house by officers responding to
reports of a burglary there shortly after 2 a.m. PT (0900 GMT), said Officer
Norma Eisenman, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman.
"Officers
were directed to a male, the apparent victim of a homicide," Eisenman said,
adding that witnesses reported seeing a man in a black jacket fleeing the area
on foot.
That
suspect remained at large on Friday evening despite a search of the
neighborhood using dogs and a helicopter.
The
Los Angeles Times, citing a coroner's spokesman, said that the victim had
sustained head trauma. Reuters could not immediately confirm that report with
the coroner's office.
"Many
of you have seen the reports of a homicide which occurred early this morning in
the home I rent in Los Angeles," Stroumboulopoulos said in a post on
Twitter.
"I
only have a few details but it seems like it was the result of a break
in," he said. "The victim was a dear friend of mine, who was staying
at my place while I was away. I am heartbroken."
Stroumboulopoulos
said that he was sending the message from a plane en route to Los Angeles from
New York "so I can be with my friends there, who are also
devastated."
Stroumboulopoulos,
44, is best known as the host of a CBC talk show, George Stroumboulopoulos
Tonight.
One
of the country's most recognized TV presenters, Stroumboulopoulos also served
as a host of Hockey Night in Canada, a fixture of Canadian television, for two
seasons. (Reporting by Dan Whitcomb; Editing by Mary Milliken)

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
