(Seattle, Washington) A badly decomposing body found in a Seattle home has been identified as longtime gay activist and former radio talk-show host Mike Webb. Webb was last seen April 13. A cleaner hired by the landlord found Webb's body wrapped in a tarp and stuffed behind boxes and a bookcase. An autopsy confirmed the body was that of Webb late Friday. Webb began his broadcasting career in San Francisco and gained acclaim for his live coverage of the riots that followed the assassination of Harvey Milk in 1978. He moved to Seattle in the 1990s, working for KWRM-FM as a talk-show host. In 1997 he was fired and subsequently sued the station accusing it of firing him because he was gay.
