This sadly describes a true story. Although dramatized in lyrics, the basis for the event actually happened. There is a story about it online from a Detroit newspaper. I can't recall the exact paper.

It could have been the band's management too. Not sure. But basically a true story. Kinda creepy if one thinks about it....
