We’ve all heard actor Christian Bale’s (American Psycho, The Dark Knight)notorious rant against a film crew member on the set of Terminator: Salvation. We’ve all read about the assault charges his mom brought forth against him (they were dropped). Now, a dead man has been discovered underneath the home Bale rented while working in New Mexico last year.

Could the hotheaded actor really have gone all Patrick Bateman on a motherfucker?

Police don’t seem to think so.

According to their investigation, Michael Snyder had been missing for eight years. His body was found this week buried underneath the home Bale rented in Albuquerque, New Mexico while working on Terminator: Salvation. Snyder’s ex-wife has been arrested for the murder.

Bale did not know about the murder … or, did he?
