The bloodied body of Shalleck, 76, was found Tuesday covered in garbage bags in the driveway of his mobile home. Police said it was there for at least a day before a maintenance man discovered it.

Shalleck had approached Margret Rey about bringing Curious George to television in 1977, the same year her husband died. In addition to more than 100 five-minute TV shorts, Shalleck and Margret Rey wrote more than two dozen more books about George.
“I got $500 per ‘Curious George’ story, no royalties, no residuals,” Shalleck told The Palm Beach Post in 1997. But the experience of working with Margret Rey was the high point of his life, he added.
