Reese Witherspoon's Abusive Photographer Found Dead

It seems California is often shocked by strange deaths. The paparazzo who was charged with battery and child endangerment after attempting to get a photo of Reese Witherspoon and her children at a Disney theme park has been found dead.

Todd Wallace's body was discovered by his friends in his Brentwood, California apartment. The photographer's identity couldn't be confirmed though because the state of the body was very bad.

Last September, actress Reese Witherspoon was celebrating her daughter Ava's sixth birthday at Disney's California Adventure, along with a group of children, when Wallace attempted to take pictures of them. When the group declined to be photographed, Wallace became enraged, shoving one child and hitting another with his camera in an attempt to get shots of the star.

The photographer created quite a big scandal, so two theme park employees attempted to restrain the irate photographer, but he reportedly struck them, while cursing at Witherspoon and causing some of the children to burst into tears.

After that incident, photographer Todd Wallace was subsequently charged with six misdemeanor charges and pleaded innocent in October. After Wallace failed to show up at a bail hearing in December a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. The photographer was also scheduled to be arraigned December 27 on an unrelated charge of petty theft but it is unclear from court records whether he attended.
