Who's seen a dead body?

Tales of the dead.

This was July 19th, 2001. I know this because this was the dude:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Chernoff,+Joel

Lived in a shitpit in hollywood, real slum. It was mainly actor types and hispanic families, and bums like me. Anyways, one day I come home, and see my apartment manager standing at the door of the next apartment, with a strange look on his face, repeatedly yelling the name "Joel".

It goes like this.

"What's wrong, dude?"

"..."

"Dude...Christian..what's wrong?"

"Matt, come here and look at this." I walk over. "Okay, look inside." I do.

"Okay...?"

"Is that guy dead?" I peer in once more, just quick enough to see a dude laying with his feet on the floor, his back on the bed, and his arms at his side.

"Umm...I dunno. Might be, can't tell from here."

Of course, never having seen a dead body, and since he was too pussy to go in alone, we walk in and look at him.

He's completely pale, not breathing, ass naked (ewww) and clearly dead. I lean over and look in his eyes...nothing.

"Yeah, dude, he's dead."

The coroner came later, and Christian told me this guy was once a big AD, and made at least a million a year. Obvious question, how did he end up dead and near penniless in that shitpit.

"He spent 1.1 million a year."

Bummer. Turns out he was dead for a good 3 days, and it was only the air conditioner that prevented the stentch of death from going all over the complex.

Epilogue to the story, every time I see One Flew Over, I see a 350 pound dead, white, bloated dead guy.

Who else has seen the corpses?

Ummm... like 8. I think most people have been to at least one funeral, right?

None where naked though... thankfully.

Well, I mean like freshly dead, not counting funerals and wakes and all.

and I've never been to a funeral.

wow, he worked on Iron Eagle IV and smoked crack in the slums of hollywood, awesome!

Freshly dead? I plead the 5th... *runs*

Freshly dead? How about...still warm. I worked at a hospital for 2 and a half years.

That guy had the same first name as me.

Any way, I've never seen a fresh corpse, but I have been to a wake.

I saw a guy with his brains blown out laying near a bridge over Brays Bayou in Houston. I called the cops, they questioned me and paramedics hauled him off. It never even made the news :/

i saw a hoboe once laying on the side of the street, he could of been dead.

There was a corpse floating in the river of my town when I was a youngster. It was right next door to my Uncles work where he fixed Arcade cabinets. I think I was 8 years old or so, and myt parents saw me on the news station looking at the body in the river. They were just a tad bity pissed at my uncle for letting me see that. OH well, just another thing to add to the experiences in my life.
