****BAD NEWS****
Mr. Butch was in a scooter accident this morning...I don't know how he got a scooter, but he wrecked it this morning right in front of the Allston fire department (Brighton Ave). He was on the ground with a bleeding head-wound, and was unresponsive to the firemen who ran out to help.
An hour later, the road was still blocked off, so it can't be good. I am hoping against hope that he is really OK, and will be back on the streets in no time.
I don't know which hospital he was taken to, but he should be in your thoughts...he's certainly in mine.

well obviously. but still... don't these rumors go around every so often?
Anyone have a more reliable source than a myspace bulletin or a wiki entry?

We'll soon find out. Damn....we just had that local neighborhood character thread. Mr. Butch was the big daddy-o of all neighborhood characters. He represents a time when Boston wasn't all about luxury high rise condos, flavor of the month trendy bars and all the other b.s. that is Boston today. He was real and is ever much a part of the city's character as James Michael Curley.

I searched the boston heald site and all that came up was something about him peeing on a soda machine at a laundromat.

Even if a paid obit, it would take at least until tomorrow to be printed.
Plenty of people on that Lemmingtrail board have confirmed seeing the wreck this morning.
Someone can always put a call into the Boston PD or if someone lives or works in the Allston area they can visit that fire station and inquire.
I believe you can also call city hall. i had a friend who had a suspicious death/no obit, they gave me the info over the phone.
Just called the Boston Fire Department. They didn't know of such an indident but they suggested I contact EMS. I am probably not going to call just now but there number is 617-343-1400 if anyone is interested in doing some further research on this.

The past few weeks, I have seen him with a scooter. It must have been a new acquisition for him.
God I hope this is not true.

I wonder if the Brigham gives out info on patients. It doesn't look good either way.

I don't think it is legal unless you are a family member.
