It's pretty unbelievable that it hasn't been cornered off or sectioned off or that it is so easy to get access to what is many people online are questioning.
Isn't this an ongoing crime scene?
The investigation is still ongoing.
How is it not protected or boarded up?
Hey, it's Helen Smith.
Welcome to this bonus episode of The Briefing.
This week, Lux Maxa Clavicular was hospitalized for a suspected overdose in Miami during a live stream.
Clavicular has spoken openly about using drugs, including methamphetamine, to curb his appetite as part of Lux Maxing.
It's a trend where mostly young men try to maximize their appearance, and what can start as self-improvement, the gym, grooming, can quickly spiral into extreme measures like steroid use, surgery, and even bone smashing to reshape their face.
Posting to X when he got home from hospital alongside an image of his bloodied face, Clavicula wrote, "'That was brutal.
All of the substances are just a cop trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn't a real solution.
The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.'"
Looks maxing, mogging, ascending and descending might all sound like a foreign language to some, but for millions of young men, this is their entire algorithms.
I spoke to Samuel Cornell, who's a public health researcher from UNSW, to explain what's behind the rise of looks maxing and why influencers are selling ascension programs to young men.
Sam, how would you describe looks maxing?
