A man who had been watching The Walking Dead reportedly confessed to authorities that he fatally beat his friend before he could become a zombie. That 23-year-old victim, New Mexico resident Christopher Paquin, was allegedly killed by Damon Perry, also 23 and now being held on a murder charge. According to media reports, local police officers were called Thursday afternoon to an apartment complex where Perry was allegedly wielding a knife . They found Paquin’s body inside an apartment unit within the complex and maintenance workers detaining Perry, who admitted he had been drinking. Perry said Paquin began “to change into a zombie” and tried to bite him, at which point Perry took matters into his own hands … and beyond hands. He beat Paquin with his hands, feet, an electric guitar and a microwave. Authorities say Perry attributed his actions to binge-watching The Walking Dead, the hit AMC series which centers on a zombie apocalypse, on Netflix. All this serves as a cautionary tale that one should likely not watch The Walking Dead online if one is unable to discern fact from fictional TV programs. Just a little PSA for you right there.
