Laurence Fishburne murdered, police searching for forensic evidence
Police forensics experts were scouring Laurence Fishburne's home for possible clues after the actor was found dead Monday.
The apparent murder happened on the same day that news broke Fishburne is in talks to replace "CSI" star William Petersen at the end of the hit crime drama's current season.
"Whoever did this was obviously very steeped in criminal science, because we haven't been able to find a shred of forensic evidence on the scene," said Los Angeles Police Lieutenant Duncan Talon. "I would estimate you need about a decade of working in or around a police forensics unit to commit a murder this cleanly."
Petersen released a statement saying he was "saddened by the loss" of a future colleague.
"For the sake of 'CSI' fans worried that this terrible event will disrupt production, I have decided that I am now willing to return for an eleventh season," he added. "I look forward to discussing the 0,000-per episode raise that I will of course require with CBS executives."
