Yes, it was most likely a hoax, but on the smallest possible chance it was
real, appropriate measures had to be taken. Calling the police was the best
option, as they are the ones most trained to analyze, identify, triage, and
handle these situations in the time-critical fashion that they may be.
Thanks again, y'all.
You and James did absolutely the right thing, Avi. Would we even consider
questioning the details of the note if it had been worded exactly the same
way - and the person had been found dead?
Thank you, Avi.

Ok, since it all
turned out ok, I feel ok in making this comment...
something quite didn't pass the sniff test about that note anyway. How
do you bury yourself if you are already dead??
