As someone loved every single episode of The Best Show Ever Made ... aka The Wire ... I found this story about a body frozen into a block of ice in Detroit both horrifying and strangely familiar. Guys like David Simon and Denis Lehane, who wrote much of The Wire, and gave us the 'hitters' Snoop and Chris who disposed of their victims in abandoned rowhouses must be wondering with this story whether art is imitating life or vice versa.
