Owner of video alleging to show Toronto mayor Ford smoking crack may have been murdered

Right now there's nothing but unproven allegations about a video two Toronto Star reporters and the editor of a scandal-mongering website claim to have seen that allegedly has someone who appears like, but may or may not be Toronto mayor Rob Ford appearing to smoke something which may or may not be crack cocaine.

Hardly the evidence necessary to undo the outcome of a democratic election in North America's 4th largest municipality.

But the plot thickens. Now reports are emerging that the owner of the alleged video has been rubbed out.
