Authorities in
are investigating the gruesome death of a popular Memphis-area DJ who was allegedly found decapitated inside his home with his pants pulled down around his ankles.
The body of Rick Buchanan, also known by his stage name “Slick Rick,” was discovered on Wednesday afternoon by his brother John Buchanan.
“I walked in and then I found him, and I just called 911,” John Buchanan told Memphis Fox affiliate WTVT just hours after he stumbled upon his brother’s mutilated remains.
The brother said that he came over to Rick Buchanan’s home after receiving an ominous phone call from one of his brother’s neighbors, the New York Daily News reported. Upon arriving at the residence, John Buchanan said he went to the front door, but it was locked. He then went around to the back of the home where he found the door wide open. He then went inside and made the grisly discovery.
In his initial interview with WTVT, John Buchanan left out the particularly graphic details of what he came upon in his brother’s home.
