Crowne Plaza mishap?

111507_hotel.JPGYou may have heard the various stories about the possibility of a fatality connected to Sunday's implosion of the Crowne Plaza hotel in the Medical Center. So far, the Chronicle reports that someone may have sneaked into the hotel before the demolition, KHOU reports that Medical Center workers say they saw someone enter the building just before demolition and possibly closed a door (on the video), KTRK has a blurry close-up of the aforementioned door, KPRC reports a mysterious shadow, and FOX26 reports that someone in the building may have been a victim of homicide.

Search crews are currently on the scene, and according to KTRK early this morning, a search dog might have found something on the east side of where the building was. We'll update as less scrambled signals come through and continue to hope that the wind just closed the door.
