In February of 2013, this blogger announced that I would remove certain names, under certain limited conditions and for an administrative fee, from my popular jailhouse roster feature. At the same time I announced this was an experiment and if I didn't like how the experiment was going, I would end it.

Last Photo Of Baby Egypt Bell, Taken September 29 At 7:35 PM Before Child Died Of (This Blogger Is Being Told By Source) "Positional Asphyxiation"

Contributed photo, blog post by John Hoff

A source with detailed information about the death of baby Egypt Bell has contacted Johnny Northside blog and urged me to publish their info. It is fair to say the source loved this baby and is angry about her death and wants the public to care deeply about what happened to this child. 

After a great deal of making sure the information comes from a valid source, I am now convinced the source is legitimate, sincere and informed. 

However, I am still trying to get more key information confirmed before publishing "the whole shebang." I do have a number of relevant pictures, including the one above, which is most likely the last photo taken of Egypt Bell before her death. 

Currently pressed for time as well as trying to confirm info, I will just get the most important fact in front of my readership, then follow up later. 

Of course, I hope publishing something on my blog miraculously reinvigorates the interest of mainstream media. You see, I think this child's death is a much bigger story than a neighborhood blog but my premise (perhaps faulty) is that mainstream media should care about the deep and gritty details of why people suddenly and tragically die in North Minneapolis with such awful frequency. 

So...

Here's why the child is dead, according to what I'm being told...
