Gibson (Fallout 3)

The corpse of  can be found in the Capitol Post office building in L'Enfant. The key in his possession opens the model house in Gibson House, Minefield. In fact he is almost instantly killed by Radroaches when you first enter the building and it is possible to save him by running straight down and killing Radroaches attacking him. After that he will be your enemy and may be fleeing, or attacking you - he may even take grenades lying behind the rigged terminal and use them.

Bugs
Note: When you first find his body (dead like it's supposed to be), he's headless. However between his legs you will see a head sticking up from the ground. This is not Gibson's real head, but only a Mutilated Torso, which only shows the head, and not the rest. The whole torso can be seen on PC if entering the TCL console command and fly "under" the floor.

Appearances
's corpse appears in Fallout 3.

Trivia
Gibson is a reference to Hideo Kojima's early game "Snatcher." In "Snatcher," You are a J.U.N.K.E.R. trying to figure out where Bionoids (cyborgs) that "snatch" people then replace them (Ie. a body snatcher) are coming from. In the game you have a side kick named Metal Gear and a Co-worker, Jean Jack Gibson, who you find with his head twisted off, similar to Fallout 3. Gibson's note is a reference to a note amongst Gibson's clothes in "Snatcher," which also reads "Search the House." The protagonist of "Snatcher" then travels to Gibson's House, promptly searches it and finds a small model home. Within the model are various clues. Fallout 3 pays homage to this.

His haircut seems to be homage to J. Jonah Jameson, editor of The Daily Bugle newspaper (as Gibson's body is found in a Newspaper printing room along with several Computers containing stories for the Street Beat) and constant thorn in the side to Spider-Man of Marvel Comics continuity.

Oddly, other than his head being torn off, his body is in great shape considering it's been there for 200 years. Also strange is the fact that if you go to Gibson's House in Minefield there are two skeletons found spooning in the Master Bedroom with med-ex found on the bedside table. So either A) His wife was having an affair or B) those would be his parents. You decide! I think it would be his parents because there is another bedroom with a single bed.
