A collaborator on the children’s book series Curious George has been found dead on the driveway of his mobile home in Florida.
Police say Allen Shalleck’s body was covered in black garbage bags. Neighbors had passed by for a least a day, thinking it was just trash.
Investigators haven’t released any details of the death. But the timing is an odd curiosity, as a Universal Pictures animated movie about the mischievous monkey opens in theaters Friday, with Will Ferrell as the voice of the Man in the Yellow Hat, George's amiable owner and friend.
