In a taxi going from Khao San Road in Bangkok to the airport on my j's, the car stopped at some traffic lights where some dude had just been shot dead.

Then in July a lorry smashed into a milk float outside my house at half 4 in the morning. I was first on the scene to find the milkman crumpled in the road and then watched him die for 10 minutes.

Nice.

man thats deep

my parents' neighbour died in the shower one day and his mate came banging on the door in a right old state asking for help. walked in to find the geezer lying in a really awkward position under the still running shower, bright purple from the ribs up. he was 45ish and had a heart attack

its the eyes that fuck me up

wow 45

on holiday in india a few years ago and came into a room to see my aunt had just passed

plus cos its still pretty third world where they are - within 2 days the body was placed in a lump of ice (to stop the decomposing), prayers read and then she was cremated

and i mean cremated old skool - literally, body, wood/straw, fire

within 2 days man - having a cup of tea together to watching her burn in front of me!!!

bad memories

lighthearted thread some horrible experiences there, glad none of them happened to me
used to work as a hospital porter and had to move dead bodies from the wards to the morgue. never had to see anyone actually die and cos you didnt know them it wasnt too bad, proper weird moving a body thats still warm though. and the smell of the morgue is something that ill never forget, it wasnt pleasant at all

I used to work night shifts at a call centre, and went out for food about 7pm one night. Walking on main road, saw a guy slip on pavement, fall into the road, head first in front of a 40-foot truck...

First and only time (so far) I've seen someone die, but I'll never, ever, forget that image...

Shit I've always had a phobia or something about this happening to me. A little slip on an everyday walk and....shit.

I know man, and he was only like 10 foot ahead of me... The immediate thought is "OH SHIT!", and then about an hour later you start thinking... "Wait... if I was like 5 seconds earlier getting out, would it have been me?"

To this day, I still try walking on the pavement as far away from the actual road as possible.

- down the road when the brixton nail bomber attacked

ok now that i understand what this thread is even about...

i lived in south philly. there were always murders going on just around the corner. pretty scary place. anyway. i hear gunshots one night. in the middle of the night actually. end up taking a walk only to hear crackling....walk a little further up the road and see smoke. there was a fire in the back of this pickup truck. totally looked intentional or something. no accident. well i walked away back home(scared of the thing blowing up!) and found on the news that morning that a man was shot and then they put his body in the back of a truck and set him on fire.

crazy. i didnt SEE the body. but i saw the fire. and now know it was him on fire. ew. like the smoke prob smelled nasty.


and ive seen a lot of people fall and break their head open to lay in a pool of their blood. or a dude slipped on some ice and broke his knee/hip...left me a thank you note on the telephone pole the next day to say thank you for calling the ambulance for him(im a nie girl). but not many experiences actually wittnessing death.

a car accident here and there. but people were already covered up. just the htought of knowing whats under there...creepy.

[poax]

you morbid bastids!!

[thomas]

no it doesn't it makes it sound like a shit poem made up by some 12 turboposting twat

Yeh, i have to agree dont use a situation like this to be even more of a wank useing shit like that.

I'm sorry to hear about it though, i was outside the door of me mate's when he passed away earlier this year. Horrible thing to discover no doubt.

Thought i may as well post in this one, feeling a bit morbid.

I'm at med school and i met my first load of corpses today. We don't do dissections proper, but we had several torsos, some with heads, all preserved in formaldehyde and reeking. Really interesting though, although somehow reminding me of the scene in Day of the Dead when the zombie being experimented on gets up and its guts fall out onto the floor.

Still, big up anyone who donates their body to medical science, your thorax.

at croydon train station in 99 i see this dude jump in front of a train, the train stopped in time so he reached out an finished off the job by touching the 3rd rail, he had all these black smoke marks round his mouth as they took him off the tracks, it was quite sick actually....
