ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — Police in a small town near Tampa say a former writer for the 1980s cartoon and comic book series "Thundercats" was killed.
Stephen Perry's van was found abandoned at a Tampa hotel May 16, with a severed arm located nearby. Police in Zephyrhills, where Perry lived, long suspected he was a homicide victim but didn't firmly reach that conclusion until Thursday.
Perry's home was ransacked, and two roommates were also missing. They have since been arrested on unrelated charges.
Perry's body has still not been located.
His work, which included numerous other comics and writing for the "Silverhawks" TV cartoon, was successful — but friends say he never made much money. Perry was broke and had trouble finding health care for potentially fatal bladder cancer.
