Seen a dead person before?
Discussion
Just reading Tamore's thread on a bad start to the day got me thinking - how would I deal with seeing a dead person?
Fortunately I have never had to, and it is certainly something I would want to avoid.
People like my Uncle (a forensic) must have seen hundreds / emergency services etc and are used to it, as the day job.
What about the ordinary Joe in the street though.
So have any ordinary Joe's on PH seen a dead person and did you react how you thought you would?
Genuine interest here, not trying to illicit gruesome tales.

Lots. Some in bits, some in wheelie bins, some on the tops of moutains, some in hedges, some hanging, some with no heads, but mostly old dears passing quietly.
When my dad died the undertakers did a fantastic job of making him look peaceful and stress/pain free which I know was a great comfort to my old Mum who had seen him slide downwards from the man he had been and left her with a final of him in a much happier place. God bless.

Once. Too busy trying to hear the 999 operator over the sound of a stuck car horn to worry about it though, another person on the scene was a midwife and she seemed fine dealing with the mess of the person who wasn't quite dead.
Not sure the particular police officers there would've seen that many dead bodies; they were there some time before the fire engines and ambulances but just set about directing traffic without checking on the scene.
