Who's seen a dead body?

Never been to a funeral nor seen a dead body.

My old english teacher watched her husband get brutally murdered, but I've never seen anything like that.

I watched my Grandmother die, and I watched a man get beat to death.

A medical school student who was attracted to me offered to take me down to the morgue, but I passed. I find death too depressing to want to look at a dead person, especially one who is cut open.

Speaking of Hollywood deaths, you all know http://www.findadeath.com, right? It is full of stories about the deaths of rock stars, movie actors, and television personalities you grew up with.

I saw a guy from a motorcycle accident get zipped into a bag once.

A complicated story. Here goes:

About 7 years ago, my wife and I went to Washington State for a short trip with my parents and their friends. Went fishing on the Bogashiele River in the Olympia National Forest on the last day for salmon fishing.

The night before fishing, we met one of our guides, and he just happened to have his friend, Larry, with him. Half of Larry's body was paralyzed from a prior accident, and I don't think the guy was playing with a full deck to begin with. Anyway, the story continues.

We go fishing the next day. The guide from the night before is in my boat. Hours into the trip, we come across an overturned ATV in the river. The guide obviously recognized who it belonged to, but doesn't say much about it. He seemed a bit concerned.

My wife is in the boat in front of us, and is the first to hear the screaming. It's coming from a young guy with one leg, Roy. It turns out that Roy lost his leg when, a few years earlier, he and a friend were shooting at an ammo dump. Big explosion, truck blown up, Roy's friend killed, and Roy's leg blown off from the hip down. Roy sued over the incident (as incredible as that may be) and with the proceeds he managed to buy the shiny ATV that was now lying in river.

Roy is freaked, but while hopping about, he manages to tell the story of how he and friend were "island hopping" through the shallow parts of the river in order to do some fishing, but Roy had just crashed his ATV by driving off of a steep edge of the river bank with his friend on the back of it. His friend was missing. My wife and mom found the friend in short order. Guess who?

Yep, it's Larry, the half-paralyzed guy from the night before. He's face down in the river by one of the many little "islands", and he is freshly drowned and looking like a beached whale. My wife and another guide are giving this guy CPR, and suffice it to say that it's NOT a pretty sight. My boat shows up at the scene. We try to help for the next twenty minutes. His body was heli-ported off the site, and Larry stayed dead as a door nail.

So. Picture the scene: there's a half paralyzed guy (who we JUST HAPPENED to meet the night before) riding around on the back of an ATV, being driven by a one-legged guy who managed to lose his leg, kill his friend, AND purchase the ATV through sheer stupidity, and who now had the incredible lack of sense to go and kill ANOTHER friend (Larry) on the ATV he acquired by killing his PREVIOUS friend. The backdrop to all of this is that ANYONE other than Larry would have easily survived the whole incident which took place in about 2-3 feet of water ... of course, Larry was half-paralyzed and couldn't swim.

So, yes. I've seen a dead body.

Well, I seen a few in my life.

One of them was a dead body in the river, that got caught by one kid fishing there. Cops brought the body out of the water, and it lay there on the ground, all white and bloated. It also had a belt on the neck from when he was strangled and then dumped into the river.

Man, that's fucked up, prince. :(

I never actually seen one myself but I was like 50 feet from one and didn't even know it till later on, something smelled real bad and later on they found a body near a small brook right near the house I was at, kind of creapy.

Smelled not seen and it is awful.

The sickest smell ever and at first I thought it was someones bad cooking.
