Because I was a police officer for 10 years, I saw more than my share of dead bodies in pretty much every state. Children were always the hardest; QUOTE]
I was in the same situation as thewiz. Everything from newborns to old age; messy suicides / car crashes to overdoses. But the toughest one to handle was when my Mom was taken off life support after an unexpected bleeding in the brain.
I've never seen a dead body "unexpectedly", but my grandmother lived with us when she was fatally ill (cancer) when I was about 12, so I did see her body when I got home from school the day she passed away. Her bed was in what was our TV room, and she was just laying there, with a piece of cloth tied under her chin and on top of her head, to keep her mouth more or less closed. Don't know why, but that detail has stuck with me.
I might have seen a dead person a mere ten hours ago, though I can't confirm it on the internet yet. I saw a guy lying on the pavement, not moving, with a LOT of blood near his head, on Westheimer Street in Houston. I didn't see anything that looked wrecked, so I'm thinking he was a pedestrian who got hit, or maybe a bicyclist. (I could have missed the bicycle if so) Lights and sirens from an approaching ambulance were on the way as I passed the scene, so it must have been very fresh.
