Man dies in hotel room with torn organs. But his body has zero signs of attack, and the story only gets stranger

On September 16, 2010, coworkers found Greg Fleniken dead on the floor of Room 348 at the MCM Elegante Hotel in Beaumont, Texas. The 55-year-old man from Lafayette, Louisiana, was lying face down in his pajamas with a cigarette still in his hand. The door was locked from the inside. His wallet was still there. Nothing looked out of place.

According to Vanity Fair, when the local coroner Dr. Tommy Brown checked the body, he found something strange. Fleniken’s ribs were broken. His chest bone was cracked. His heart and liver were torn up inside. The strangest thing was a dark purple wound on his private area that looked crushed. But here’s the weird part. There were no bruises anywhere else on his body. No cuts. No marks on his chest. The damage inside looked like he had been in a bad car crash, but he was just lying on a hotel room floor.
