An Indianapolis man accused of killing his father allegedly told police he hit him twice in the head with a tomahawk and then covered his body in what he called a “plushie pile,” as reported by Law&Crime. Kevin Andrew Comer, 37, was arrested over the weekend on a preliminary murder charge in the death of his father, Jody Comer. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers went to a home in the 3200 block of Lupine Drive at 10:06 AM for a welfare check. They forced their way through the front door and found an unresponsive man with signs of trauma, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency and the Marion County Coroner’s Office are working to confirm the cause and manner of death. Court documents say Comer made several statements to police, including an alleged confession. He reportedly told officers, “I popped him two times in the head with a tomahawk.” His dad had asked a friend to check on him Comer allegedly spoke with one of his father’s co-workers while trying to sell the victim’s tools. The co-worker told police that Comer claimed his father was done, that he found the experience liberating, and that he would have killed his father a long time ago if he had known it would be so easy. The co-worker also said Jody Comer had previously expressed fear of his son and told him to call for a welfare check if he ever failed to show up because his son was just not right. “I popped him two times in the head with a tomahawk”Indy man is arrested for murdering his 63-year-old father.The suspect confessed and said he found the experience “liberating”https://t.co/TYdT57hOGk— Jesse Wells (@JesseWellsNews) November 9, 2026 Comer allegedly told investigators his father was a terrible human being and claimed Jody Comer was not his actual father. Statements to police have also been central in other cases, including one involving a Texas man accused of disemboweling his father. Comer reportedly told police he covered his father with blankets and clothing to make a plushie pile because his daughter enjoyed them. He said he then got a can of gas, intending to set the pile on fire. He allegedly decided against it because he realized the flames could spread and harm children living in the apartment complex. Police found Comer in the 3200 block of West Washington Street shortly after the discovery, and he was arrested without incident. Suspects’ early accounts to police can change as cases unfold, and a Wisconsin man accused of killing his father claimed the red splatter was chili. Comer is being held in the Marion County Jail without bond. Court records show he is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
