[The grim news hits in the hours following
this. (Police and emergency services aren't called until
after a team has, covertly, done as much damage control on the crime scene as possible, but that is off the record, strictly unofficial, and is not reported on.) A joint press conference by an Oscorp spokesperson and the Chief of Police is held, during which it is announced that Norman Osborn and a number of other currently unidentified employees were killed outside New York in the early hours of the morning. No details are given. All the police will say is that they are not ruling out foul play, and will be investigating further. Any whispers or rumors of the late Mr. Osborn being less than squeaky clean are just that: rumors, unsubstantiated for now, and Oscorp refuses to comment on the matter further.]
