His love was hair dressing. I bet he would have done a great job on this mess on my head. RIP KB.\u201d\n\nThe victim\u2019s father, Karl, said that he had chosen the name because he wanted his son to have the same initials, but wanted to avoid using the name Karl Jr. He said that the actor wasn\u2019t as famous when the 25-year-old was born.\n\nBut the name also led to the attention from his namesake, who posted the tribute alongside a picture to his almost 1 million followers. It has since been liked more than 17,000 times and has drawn a vast number of comments.\n\nThe death also led to tributes from internet personality Jeffree Star, who shared a link to a crowdfunding page that has been established in the young man\u2019s memory.\n\nBacon left home on Christmas Eve, telling friends he was planning to see a man he had met on a dating app. He was reported missing after not arriving for breakfast the following day, and his body was found on Saturday at a nearby home.\n\nA man has been arrested in relation to the killing, according to local reports.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": [""], "tags": ["Grindr", "Jeffree Star", "Michigan", "Kevin Bacon"], "authors": ["Andrew Griffin"], "publish_date": "Wed Jan  1 18:57:53 2020", "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "\u21b5Kevin Bacon has paid tribute to a murdered man who shares his name.", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "https://s.yimg.com/os/mit/media/p/common/images/favicon_new-7483e38.svg", "meta_data": {"oath": {"guce": {"consent-host": "guce.yahoo.com"}}, "msapplication-TileColor": "#6e329d", "msapplication-TileImage": "https://s.yimg.com/rz/p/yahoo_frontpage_en-US_s_f_w_bestfit_frontpage.png", "msvalidate.01": "A9862C0E6E1BE95BCE0BF3D0298FD58B", "referrer": "unsafe-url", "theme-color": "#400090", "twitter": {"dnt": "on", "site": "@YahooNews", "card": "summary_large_image", "description": "\u21b5Kevin Bacon has paid tribute to a murdered man who shares his name.", "image": {"identifier": "https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/HktFbI8395TjWWZJeCLs0A--~B/aD0zNzM7dz01MjY7c209MTthcHBpZD15dGFjaHlvbg--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_independent_635/030a44c5f1547842b84c47cc24c2fd6f", "src": "https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/HktFbI8395TjWWZJeCLs0A--~B/aD0zNzM7dz01MjY7c209MTthcHBpZD15dGFjaHlvbg--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_independent_635/030a44c5f1547842b84c47cc24c2fd6f"}, "title": "Kevin Bacon shares emotional Instagram post about murdered man with the same name"}, "application-name": "Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines", "news_keywords": "Kevin Bacon", "googlebot": "noindex", "bingbot": "noindex", "robots": "noindex", "apple-itunes-app": "app-id=304158842,app-argument=yahoo://article/view?uuid=24753150-a495-36bf-a1be-5bb1439afae3&src=web", "description": "\u21b5Kevin Bacon has paid tribute to a murdered man who shares his name.", "og": {"type": "article", "image": "https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/HktFbI8395TjWWZJeCLs0A--~B/aD0zNzM7dz01MjY7c209MTthcHBpZD15dGFjaHlvbg--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_independent_635/030a44c5f1547842b84c47cc24c2fd6f", "description": "\u21b5Kevin Bacon has paid tribute to a murdered man who shares his name.", "title": "Kevin Bacon shares emotional Instagram post about murdered man with the same name", "url": "https://news.yahoo.com/kevin-bacon-shares-emotional-instagram-185753045.html"}, "fb": {"pages": 338028696036, "app_id": 458584288257241}, "al": {"android": {"app_name": "Yahoo", "package": "com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.yahoo", "url": "yahoo://article/view?uuid=24753150-a495-36bf-a1be-5bb1439afae3&src=web"}, "ios": {"app_name": "Yahoo", "app_store_id": 304158842, "url": "yahoo://article/view?uuid=24753150-a495-36bf-a1be-5bb1439afae3&src=web"}}}, "canonical_link": "https://news.yahoo.com/kevin-bacon-shares-emotional-instagram-185753045.html"}
