Detroit's Original Ice Potato Found Dead

    Detroit's original Ice Potato was found dead today in a Detroit backyard.  Although less than two months old he had the weathered face of a potato three times his age.  Although autopsy results have not been released, it is believed he succumbed to the recent warm temperatures.  Forensics experts were also looking at a suspicious hole in the top of his head and have not ruled out foul-play.  Friends say he set off for the river a couple weeks ago in an effort to reach Canada and head north for the summer.
    According to his wishes he was laid to rest in a simple pine box, his head resting on a canary-yellow pillow.  The Ice Potato is survived by an untold number of siblings and is rumored to have fathered several children.  His father died in March at a Wendy's restaurant in Des Moines, while his mother died just days later at a Burger King in Miami.
    Rising to fame in the heyday of the Ice Art Movement in Detroit in February of this year; a movement which also saw the Ice House and nothing else,  Detroit's Ice Potato struggled to stay in the spotlight despite being the subject of t-shirts, stickers and many videos.  It is believed he had several projects in the works at the time of his death.
