i found this anonymous review of a new book by pius nesapius about the death of chris hyndman in a recent issue of the arkham readers post. it is more a collection of reading notes held together with excerpts from the book than a review. having read and reviewed some of nesapius works in the past i found it interesting to read another's persons thoughts on a topic and author i have a familiarity with. not having read this book i can't say how fair some of the comments made by the anonymous reviewer are.
i can say nesapius is no stranger when it comes to the topic of mysterious deaths, in his 2005 study of the events surrounding the 1995 suicide of ex csis agent tony iachetti he concluded iachetti did not suicide, but was executed by nato special forces for allegedly selling csis case files to organized crime and or rogue gladio operatives for use in gangstalking, extortion, and the creation of a strategy of tension. that strange tale raised more questions than any it answered, as does his newest book which describes the death of canadian television celebrity chris hyndman.

death of a sleepwalker, the conspiracy to occult the murder of chris hyndman. pius nesapius, landbaybooks. $63.00 (dollars canadian).
on the fifth of august he returned to canvases the queen-davenport neighbourhood where hyndman lived for the last decade of his forty nine years. a seedy area of toronto slowly being gentrified by socioliberal elements of torontos population, thus the warehouses renovated into condominiums like the one hyndman resided in for the last ten years.
" ... last night while checking the Internet i noted there were a few social media posts which hinted it was an anti gentrification murder. i had heard something about a bankster funded occupy-gentrification movement that promoted vigilante acts against people they viewed as ruining torontos ruined neighbourhoods but a few hours of dropping hinted questions and i found them to be a figment of the internets collective imagination. ... by noon i had covered the area nearest hyndmans condominium and was thinking of casting my net wider when i found a lead in several people who heard from some other people about some people who had been drinking in the abandoned rail yard to the west of the condominium at 66 broadview. gossip in local cafes was that some street people had been claiming they saw a ghost or an angel a few nights ago, i could spare whatever time it took to verify whether this was a caffeine rumour or fact. ... another couple of days in the neighborhood led me to the very people i was looking for."
... " i tracked down all except one of the group of people who were drinking in the rail yard west of the condominium the night of hyndmans fall to his death. predictably they all gave slightly differing accounts of what they allegedly viewed on that third night of august, but their accounts all agree that a breeze came up, it got chilly all of a sudden and then what seemed to be a figure in a white piece of clothing appeared above the space between the two condominiums. ... one thought it a ghost, another the angel of death from the apocalypse of john, another that she was hallucinating and since that night had decided it was just a bag lifted up by a warm breeze on a hot summer night in august, "after all we started drinking in the morning, had been knocking it back all afternoon and were sharing a bottle when we saw whatever it was." ...
though nesapius writes that even she agreed with the others stories that what ever it was hung there a second then a faint pulse of blue tinged light hit it from the clear night sky and it slowly lowered to the ground of the alley way. none of them had connected it to the news about hyndman and nesapius said nothing to put ideas in their heads.
nesapius pauses his narrative to explain the phenomena of exotic techchnology. this is classified weaponry in use by a branch of some of the worlds military and would allow things that sound like science fiction, the lifting of a body into the air and slow lowering it to the ground for example. the three page he uses for this is arguably the best part of the book.
it was now august the sixth and he went on to torontos main gay village at church and wellsley, he was interested to hear first hand what was being said about hyndmans death, on the street compared to the rumours on the internet.
