How are things? 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. That is a good thing. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I did.

Yeah, did you eat a lot? I did. So would I. It was my cheat day. Ah, did it show? Yes. Oh well.

I somehow managed to go back to the way that I was a month before from one bloody meal. Oh geez.

On the evening of July 30, 2008, Tim McLean, a 22-year-old Canadian carnival barker, was returning home to Winnipeg riding a Greyhound bus when he was viciously stabbed, beheaded, and cannibalized.

On the evening of July 30, 2008, Tim McLean, a 22-year-old Canadian carnival barker, was returning home to Winnipeg riding a Greyhound bus when he was viciously stabbed, beheaded, and cannibalized by another passenger, about 18 kilometers west of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

After arriving on the scene, RCMP watched for hours as the perpetrator, Vincent Lee, 40, desecrated Tim's body inside the bus after the driver and remaining passengers had fled, powerless to stop the man's frenzy.

Less than a year later, Vince Lee was found not criminally responsible, NCR, for Tim McLean's slang, but held in a Manitoba psychiatric institution from which he was released just six years later.

You are listening to DarkBoutine Episode 191, horror on bus 1170, the death of Tim McLean.

Tim McLean Jr. was born on October 3, 1985 at Victoria General Hospital in Winnipeg.

He was Tim Jr. to family, Timy to his friends, and Jokyll Wild to his juggalo buddies. His uncle Alex later said in a statement that,

Tim was a stubborn soul and a kind one. He made friends effortlessly, disliked no one, and accepted everyone for who they were. He was a charmer who loved to smile, and you could never take a plate of food away from him.

Tim's family wrote in his obituary quote, he grew up both in Winnipeg and Eli, with more family than he could shake a stick at.

Tim was very active. He loved soccer, football, motorbikes, and generally anything that would get him into dirt and trouble. He could always bring out the best in people with his charm and never tired of pulling pranks.

Tim's appetite was legendary, both for food and life. He could never stand still. There was a whole world to see in everywhere he went. He brought light and joy.

Tim's family wrote in his obituary quote, he was just thinking of this when you're reading that. There are words on a page.

You can't possibly express just through words. The love you had or the loss you feel for losing a son or the joy and the aliveness of the person. You can't get that down in words.

Well, that in trying to encapsulate someone's entire life in just a few paragraphs.
