Amused to Death

Angus didn't looked up from his computer screen when he hearing the door open.
He know who it was, and without looking up he just say:
"Hi, Jim. No, I have nothing new to report to you... sorry..."
"Oh shit!" said Jim. He was a police officer and the case he got for 5 days ago was
someting that bothers him.
"Okey, I am not suprised, I have nothing more to come with myself. Shall we make a quick check?"
"Yeah, for the hundred times..." Angus smiled. "Well the obduction didn't tell anything more,
and that was a suprise for me, as you remember. I have make a second check today and there is nothing. No drugs, no alcohol, this young man didn't even smoke."
Jim sighted. "Okey, so this is the story: For 5 days ago his mother was missing him as he didn't
come in the evening to help her with her car. After several phone calls she decided to get to his
departement. The door was locked and as she got a own key she opened it. But the security chain was on from the inside so she decided to call a locksmith. When she was inside she found her son dead. He was sitting in his computer chair, but the computer was not turned on. She call ambulance and police and when I arrived I must say that I don't know so much more now than then..."
"Yeah," said Angus. "How ever, if I should make a guess, I should have said, heart attack, but
there is not possible..."
"I know what you mean, his face..."
"Yes, his face... That was strange..."
"Hm... But you found no drugs so I have no idéa, have you?"
"No, he was looking so happy so I can not understand why, it seems... how shall I say... well, it seems that he have being... amused to death..."
