The first sentence of a local news article I read today reads as follows: "While they still don’t know how she died, authorities say the 15-year-old girl who was found dead outside her apartment early Sunday was not killed."

WHAT THE FUCK! YES, SHE WAS MOST CERTAINLY KILLED, AS SHE IS NOW DEAD! What the fuck kind of idiot reporter would even think about writing that kind of lede, and what the fuck kind of editor would let that shit slide? Further, why the blue fuck does it piss me off so much?

Maybe it's actually viral marketing for the next Twilight movie or some shit.
I'll admit, it's iffy... but 'killed' tends to imply that she died of something other than a natural cause. It's stupid, I know, but I've come across this before.
