While jogging almost tripped on a human corpse.

True story. It happened right around the corner and I´m still sweaty as I type.

So I´m doing my daily run around the area I live, it had just rained and the lonely road was still wet. As I´m approaching a curve I notice the 10 or so contruction workers that were gathered around on the other side of the street talking and what not (I am on the other side). All of a sudden i look to my left and bam, not more than a meter away dead person covered with a blanket, motorcycle smashed against a wall.

I continued my run as if nothing happened but inside all i could think about was secretion scenes from drag me to hell and my own mortality.

By the time I ran around back home the police was there and the poor man was still lying there for everyone to see.

Very sad day.

That is sad and not very nice for you :(

My dad found a car that had crashed into a tree, years ago. Both the people inside were dead. He puked up.

That sounds traumatizing mull. It´s not the first time I´ve witnessed death up close but it ALWAYS has the same effect. One day that will be me. And you.

:( Man, not a good day. Especially not for the motorcyclist.

Yeah, I have been pretty lucky with my lack of witnessing trauma so far. Hopefully it can stay that way.

I imagine it has put your head in a spin.

i remember seeing an old man die in a shopping center and was amazed at the way one life ended and everyone else s just rolled along seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation in front of them and suprised by my own inability to carry on like everyone else

PS: your select is cool

whoa. I've only seen one dead body. i think. it was so long ago that i don't even know if the guy was dead. it was a gunshot wound. I was very young.

but I saw a documentary on wildlife poaching in African parks, where game wardens shot and killed some poachers. it was quite disturbing.

horrid. Hope the image doesn't stay with you for too long. I was visiting my parents one day and walked past a car crash site - the guy managed to fly through his windscreen and somehow get his head torn clean off. The body was covered with a sheet but you could see the head was not there.

These things always shake you up inside. It sort of underlines how fragile everything is. Like, you could slip in your bathroom in 5 minutes, smash your head against the tub and die.

happy thoughts :D *runs off to eat some chocolate before it's too late*

:( I thought this was about a new sub

I saw a guy get hit on a motorcycle by some lady going like 60 going through a traffic light, it was very unreal, and I try to stop his blood with my shirt, didnt realize he already had died, I didnt feel like puking but just made me really upset and feel weird for the next few weeks

:( i thought maybe this was a blog about some lame jokes, but it's not. how awful for you. i hope you're looking after yourself. at least the body was found and maybe identified, so the families might be at peace also.

i think the oddest thing i've found is a dead shark on the beach, totally JAWS style.

D: :(

i've only seen two dead bodies that werent in a wake/funeral setting

it's very odd and unsettling.
surreal.

randyotter3000 on Oct 14 '09 at 6:00pm

dangerous things motorcycles

celandinestern on Oct 14 '09 at 6:10pm

only? two is a fair amount....

EricaTheRed on Oct 14 '09 at 6:21pm

He was covered in a blanket? I guess that's better than seeing the actual corpse, but that's still the kind of thing that stays with you for a while. :(

shirtflirt on Oct 14 '09 at 6:22pm

celandin, true true.

Alex: that is INSANE!!
Erica: yes, it´s def better than seeing the actual corpse. When my father died (open casket) his corpse was out in the open for everyone to see and I have never been able to forget him laying there. It´s that last memory that really gets you. Anyway, thx for the support, it was just a strange day.

brentendo on Oct 14 '09 at 6:41pm

holy crap, you go on a daily run???

but no really, thats an awful story =/ I've been lucky enough to not see a dead body in real life, though I have seen someone get hit by a car. that was crazy
