Sounds like someone wasn't quite ready to go yet and decided to have one more joke on those left behind

They need to better mark the route to the Soylent Green factory so they don't be talking them bumpy side roads!!

We have dropped body bags. The really dead ones sometimes kinda don't behave like a normal dead body but instead splat. Sometimes the maggots and bloating causes the stiff to wiggle and make loud belching and bubbling sounds. Do I need to mention the stink? Part of the job. Fire department.

Yikes! Yuck! Barf! Have I mentioned the shotgun to the head suicide? Our Engineer, (engine crew) placed his lower leg on his knee and used his folder knife to pick skull fragments out of the sole of his boot while the rest of us were eating our diner. He tossed them on the table for our viewing. Yep. Hair attached.

Long ago far away. We saw or handled dead human bodies about once every other shift. Five times a month. Easier in winter. Harder in summer. Making sure the gurney is secured to the brackets inside the meat wagon is necessary, along with making sure the rear doors are properly closed. Part of the job.

Reminds me of an old joke. It can be really long but here's the short version.

Coffin flies out of a hearse and by chance rolls through a drug store. Pharmacist says "What's going on?"

The undertaker says, "I'll tell ya later doc, but first give me something to stop my coffin."

Can't blame the dude for trying to get away from that kwazy coroner !

Side track a little, but I had a friend who used to work at a morgue.
He was telling us around a campfire that he was doing a creamation on a guy and sometimes he would look inside, he was there by himself and at night.
He looked in and this body's muscles contracted and it sat straight up as gases expelled causing a "screaming" sound.

He darn near shat himself (probably did) and quit that night.

Wtf.

An old guy, Mr. Cornell told me a story about when he was a kid.
He knew the town undertaker and one day the undertaker asked young Cornell if he would run the hand pump while he ran an errand.
The hand pump was apparently used to pull the blood out of the body.
As young Cornell was merrily pumping away, a vacuum was created and suddenly the corpse let out a loud sucking sound.
Mr. Cornell said that he believes that was as fast as he'd ever run in his life.

If I may quote a line from John Goodman in one of my favorite comedy's, "NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND!". You win a free evenning at home if you can guess the movie.

I've had to identify bodies and it can be weird. Saddly enough, some old cons have no one left in their lives and the people who are most familiar with them are the various police, probation officers, and corrections officers they interact with.
