re: saw a dead body

(no message)

I once shot a man just to watch him die.

Spiritual. The only guarantee in this life. My first, 16 yr old classmate started a rope climb (probably fifth trip up), started, put one foot back on the mat and collapsed. RIP.

I've seen a few dead people.

ranging from a few months to old as f*ck

I once smelled the scent of death, it haunted me for years. Turned out it was just a nurses barren ovaries.

I saw a guy who'd been on a motorcycle at an accident scene. He hadn't been wearing a helmet and his head was lying in a pool of blood. The scene was crawling with first responders who weren't paying him any attention at all so I figured he had joined the choir invisible.

If I ever see a live body though I will kill it with fire.

Was in er at LOL and they rushed in a motorcycle victim who's head was essentially beside his arm. Not sure why the rush. Was wearing a helmet but hit a guy wire from pwr pole....

Saw a kid right in front of Ruffino's get plowed over by truck. Dude was riding an older model Honda and a minivan was stopped. He hit the brakes and went over handle bar, but instead of hitting the back of the van, be flew into the other lane and a pickup, doing about 50, just laid him out. He ended up about 30 yards behind where his motorcycle was. It was a quick death and about 2 minutes later, a state trooper showed up and just put a sheet over the guy.

Seen many as a firefighter. Seen many at funerals. Toughest one was when I was 22, I walked into my dad's place on a Sunday morning. I found him kneeling over the side of his bed. The coroner said he likely had died sometime during the night. Possibly after waking up to go to the bathroom. fricked me up for a while. I have two little girls now and another on the way. I do my best to tell them how much I love them every single day.

I've told this story on here before.

CSB time about finding bodies over the levee in St. Gabriel.

We had been kayaking down down the river for a couple days and were planning on pulling out at St. Gabriel to hitch a ride back to BR. When we go to pull out, we pull up to a spot on the bank where find an outstretched decaying remains floating in the river. Fleshy bones and what appeared to be a flowery patterned dress on the victim. No head. Looked to be the size of a small girl. We thought we had found the body of a little girl and it had us all sick to our stomachs.

We call 911 and report it. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, and soon enough the entire Iberville Parish Sheriff's department shows up. The guy in charge walks over to us and the body. I'm not lying when I say this. He picked up a stick and proceeded to poke the body. In the most stereotypical southern cop drawl goes, "yeeeep, that's a little girl alright." By now the entire town is lined up on the levee watching this going on. Specialists are called in and show up. When they get there, they walk up, take one look at us and the cops and say, "That's a dead dog or coyote. Thanks for wasting our time." Then they walk off.

Turns out the skin had lost all the hair and detached from the body and resembled a dress floating in the water and the current had mangled the body to splay it out to resemble a human.
