Stepping Over Death

Aug 09, 2006 11:21

Last night I get a call of a man down. Upon arrival the FD is already leaving, which is never a good sign. One of the guys says "youre gonna love this one" which usually means a stinker. Not this time ( Read more... )

You see, these are the kinds of stories I miss ever since my first husband, a P.O., passed away. Thanks so much for posting it. It makes me feel -- at least a little -- back in the loop. :)

Sounds like the suicide we had the other night. I wasn't there, but apparently the husband went in the backyard and shot himself. His wife comes home, finds him, puts a pillow under his head and a blanket over him. Then she calls friends and lets them know he has died. Never calls 911. A friend had to call 911 to let the department know. I guess trauma effects people in strange ways.

Forgot to mention that she changed her shirt and cleaned herself up prior to calling friends.

Sorry, but I have to ask: is this the worst corpse you've had to deal with? Morbit, yes, but I'm just curious. If not, which was?

I guess the worst one was the skeletonized remains of a woman boarded up in her home I discovered a few months ago. Thats a good tale in itself.
