The lawsuit also alleges that Hirsh “screams and makes loud noises while using the gym and the pool” and doesn’t always wear appropriate attire in the gym. Hirsh was banned from the facilities but appar- ently has snuck back in by following a real estate agent touring prospective buyers or catching an open door when other residents were leaving. Management has had to take both the pool and the fitness center out of use so both could be cleaned and sanitized. But Hirsh thinks the suit is pay- back because she doesn’t tip.
Cardiac Karma
Police were called to a home in Trenton, South Carolina, on May 7, where two bodies were found in the backyard, WJBF- TV reported. The first was Joseph Anthony McKinnon, 60, who apparently died of a “cardiac event,” according to the coroner. The second body was Patricia Ruth Dent, 65, who was McKinnon’s live- in girlfriend, and who clearly did not die of natural causes.
An autopsy revealed that Dent had been strangled; police be- lieve a struggle took place in- side the home, and McKinnon wrapped her in trash bags and placed her in a pit he had dug in the yard. They concluded that McKinnon had suffered a heart attack during that pro- cess.

Eighty-two-year-old ac- tor James Cromwell, known most recently for his role on Succession, glued his palm to a midtown Manhattan Starbucks store counter on May 10 to protest the extra charge the coffee company assesses for plant- based milk in their drinks. He later used a knife to scrape his hand off the counter.
‘Babe’ Actor Sticks It To Starbucks In Protest
The Associated Press re- ported that Cromwell, who starred in Babe: Pig in the City, is a longtime animal rights protester. For its part, Starbucks seemed nonplussed by the protest, which was or- ganized by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, characterizing the nondairy milk customizations as similar to any other, “such as an addi- tional espresso shot or syrup.”

“I’m an old lady. Why should I tip you all the time? I don’t want to live here any- more,” she said.
Sanjeev said they spent all their savings on their son, sending him to the United States for pilot training, and that he returned to India but lost his job and required their support for two more years. They arranged a lavish wed- ding and reception for him, but after six years, the couple “are still not planning a baby,” Sanjeev said. “At least if we have a grandchild to spend time with, our pain will be- come bearable.”
