I watched my now ex’s father die in hospital. Taking his last breath. That stuff stays with you. Even 12yrs later.
Finding a dead body

"Almost" feels wrongAttaboy, good lad
Pics of them holding someone's liver needed though, merely for the sake of scientific curiosity of course...
Also if you could fit some fava beans and a nice chianti in to the picture that would be just sublime.

Earlier in the year I had to ID a body. I don't want to go into the background of who it was and why I was asked to do it, but essentially there were only three people who knew this person and the other two were unwilling (felt unable) to do the ID, so I had to step up.
Was only a young person, 19 years old. A very sobering experience indeed and I won't ever get the image out of my head.
I have to say the chaplain at the hospital morgue was excellent.

"Almost" feels wrong
I once spent a day with the Histology team messing with parts of bodies and learning what they did all day.
The interesting fact was every body part I held the patient was still living.
Also important to know that the parts were in a liquid and I had to wear thick rubber gloves.

I come to this thread as on my way to work this morning I thought I saw a dead body in someone's front garden. I stopped to check and it was just a drunk.
I've found two of my relatives dead an uncle and my Grandmother both had died in there sleep and did look peaceful . They both had health issues and my Nan was 92 so had a good innings as they say .My uncle had not been heard from in 3 days not unusual for him but my mum had a feeling and we went around and he'd passed away in an armchair . I went in and could tell straight away I touched him on the forehead to make sure stone cold . After paramedics had left and Police were satisfied nothing iffy had happened the female officer said to me "You can sit in the house with him until the undertakers come" I'm not religious or superstitious and little phases me but sitting opposite my dead relative of 3 days was not on my list i sat in my car for the hour wait

Formalin? Right pain in the arse when you get specimen jobs and they're formulin. You have to go all the way to the path. labs to get a trolley, all the way back to the pick up location and then all the way back to the path. labs.

As a curious aside an ex girlfriend of mine was assistant art director on Hannibal, (the film, not the TV series). Always told her art and films were stupid pursuits and she'd never make any money. How wrong i was
