Hairstylist named Kevin Bacon killed, testicles eaten by Grindr date from hell
A Michigan man named Kevin Bacon was mutilated and killed by a man he met on the LGBTQ dating app Grindr, reports said.
Bacon, a 25-year-old hairstylist, met up with suspected killer Mark Latunski on Christmas Eve after they spoke on the app, according to Michigan Live.
The man’s family grew concerned when he didn’t show up to Christmas breakfast, according to the report.
Investigators found his car at a Dollar General parking lot and later tracked his last known location to Latunski’s house in Shiawassee County, according to the reports.
Inside the house, police found Bacon’s body hanging from the rafters with rope tied around his ankles, a local NBC affiliate reported.
Latunski told cops he killed Bacon by stabbing him in the back and slitting his throat, according to the report.
He also told cops he cut off Bacon’s testicles and ate them during the murder, WILX reported.
Latunski was charged with murder and mutilation of a human body.
The actor Kevin Bacon shared his condolences to the friends and family of the man he shared a name with in an Instagram post last week.
“For obvious reasons I’m thinking this morning about the friends and Family of this young person Kevin Bacon,” the actor wrote.
“His life was taken from him much too soon. His love was hair dressing. I bet he would have done a great job on this mess on my head. RIP KB,” he added.
