how many people here have seen a dead person before?

Question

in real life and not on T.V!

Answer 1

I've seen plenty. For some reason, when I travel, I always see really bad car wrecks. I was also planning to be a medical examiner, so the Histologist gave me a tour of the morgue at the VA hospital where I was volunteering. Trust me, it's not at all like CSI.

Answer 2

I have at funerals but once, as a home health aide, I found one of my patients had died the night before. His eyes were open and had a look of dull gray, you could tell there was no life there. It was creepy to say the least, and I was in a bit of a panic, crying and not able to turn him over to try any sort of resuscitation. It's a powerless feeling. I had never met the man before, but yet I felt I should respect his body and do what I can.

Answer 3

I used to work in a homeless mens hostel and quite often especially during winter some of the old guys wouldn't wake up in the morning. Its really sad when there is no loved ones to mourn them.

Answer 4

My mom and dad at their funerals. My girlfriend works in a funeral home so I've seen dead people there.

Answer 5

At funerals, homeless people in the park in winter, that guy in the alley off Cass st. in Detroit that one time.

Answer 6

Yes, I have been to multiple funerals where the barbaric tradition of the open casket viewing was observed.

Answer 7

Yes at a funeral. I kept expecting him just to sit up in his caskett and start talking. I was like so freaked out.

Answer 8

Yes, at funerals

Answer 9

Yes, at funerals

Answer 10

Twenty-two years as a cop. I've lost count. I prefer my dead fresh and not five weeks old in an apartment in the middle of August thanks.
