Language from the article "Body is Mistaken for a Halloween Display" (NY Times)
Hard rain and cold winds kept many indoors

On a narrow strip of land leading to the sea.

Mr. Zayad

Remained undisturbed

Overlooking boat slips and a waterway.

Slumped over patio furniture

He looked fake

The body

Partly obscured.

After an autopsy on Saturday

Successfully treated

Everything you need to know

Mistaken for Halloween décor:

A dummy over the back of a chair
