Readers mourn death of Flint homeless man and Tent City dweller Gary Nagy

FLINT, MI -- A story on Gary Nagy, a Flint homeless man and Tent City dweller who was killed last week, had readers expressing sympathy for the man.

Readers reached out to express their outrage over the man's treatment and sorrow for his death.

Nagy was found killed under a broken-off dumpster lid at an abandoned high school in Flint.

Police have arraigned a man accused of torturing and killing him.

Here's a sample of what readers had to say about Nagy. And don't miss this story on Nagy and his fellow Tent City campers from 2011.

May they find the person(s) who did this terrible act. We pray for Mr. Nagy's family and friends who are left to mourn his loss.

I'm praying for these people who lost their friend and family member. This is so sad to hear and it disturbs me to think someone would kill someone just for the fun of it. I'm afraid for our community when I hear of these things and realize there are people so close who are capable of such evil. I was saddened when Tent City was evacuated and questioned what would come of these people who never bothered anyone. I guess we have our answer.

Don't know how these homeless survive but it must be very hard. That guy looks like 54 going on 70.

I went to school with Gary in the 8th, 9th, and 12th grades. With all of the bullying and things that was going on, he was one of the nicest kids back then. I didn't have any contact with him after high school and it saddens me that his life played out like this. He deserved much better - in life and in death. RIP Gary.
