“They somehow seem staged, cinematic, unreal.”
The weirdest part of it is that he didnt kill himself straight away.

Eerie scenes
Hangings are always very eerie scenes.They somehow seem staged, cinematic, unreal.

And its odd what sticks in your memory.
Like how neatly they placed their slippers beside the ladder, or how rough the knot is.

Trapped inside the morgue
Someone calling Help!
and banging on the door of the morgue from the inside.
The door had been rigged to stay shut from the outside.
No zombies, it was a very alive and very terrified woman.
The housekeeping staff were hazing a newbie who was terrified of bodies.
On this night, a body was brought in under special circumstances.
A body was found in a body of water, so the patient was already swollen from that.
What happened was, all suspicious death autopsies are performed at a single location in my state.
It was the most putrid thing Ive ever had to be a part of.
She looked like she had been attacked by a lawnmower and crudely stapled back together.
They pretty much turned her into a living meat puzzle.
She was palliative an expected to pass away so the catheter is to be removed on performing last offices.
When I did so a crazy amount of urine that pretty much looked like blood gushed out.
I was not prepared.
I brushed it off and carried on but my word it was like something out of a horror movie.
His wife and adult kids came in that afternoon to make arrangements.
She went from cheerful and talkative to a shaky, catatonic mess within a week.
Her skin looked like that yellow construction paper from elementary school.

Worms
I had a pt die in ICU that was in his 60s or so.
He was a missionary that came back early from some South American country due to abdominal pain.
His bowel had perforated due to parasitic worms.
When he dies, the abdomen was still wiggling.
I cleaned him up and bagged him and prayed that the worms didnt come thru.
Hope the morgue freezer killed those things.
That was the most gross thing I have ever witnessed in many deaths I have seen.

Amazing Grace
A couple of years ago I ran a suicide by shotgun to the head.
At least 20-25 feet of travel.
They are contracted with the county medical examiners office to transport bodies to the hospital morgue.
We go where they have passed and bag them for transport.
I live in a town where drug overdoses happen frequently.
I have transported most of my classmates from highschool.
Putting your friend in a body bag is even harder.
The police needed to examine the cadaver to see if it had also been murdered, which it had.
Im assuming the doctor was found guilty.
All hours of the day and night.
Was in a funeral home in the middle of the night any all the otehr staff were gone.
I almost wet myself.
Oh, and you have smelt nothing until you have smelt the farts of the dead.

Morgue pranks
My uncle used to run a funeral home.
He wanted my cousins to get into the business, but they wouldnt.
My cousin thought it would be hilarious to hide in a bag and pop up and scream.
She was so scared she called my mom to come get her.
The next morning it turns out it was just the other coroner.
One lab was titled, Milking the bowel.
It accomplished exactly the opposite of that.

Necrophilia
I once saw a man having sex with a decreased woman.
He didnt have any crazy stories, only a family that insisted the father NOT be wearing any lipstick.
died shortly after arriving at the hospital).
He took a couple weeks off after that one.
His first call after getting back on the ambulance was a hanging.
Fuck this shit, Im done!
He did nothing but run transfers and teach classes for the remainder of his time at the ambulance company.
He has never described the hanging scene to me.
Im not gonna ask.
