People Who Have Found Dead Corpses Randomly, What Happened? (r/AskReddit)

our slash ask reddit serious people who have happened upon dead corpses randomly what happened a guy at my university was walking to class with his earbuds in and his hood over his head he walked right across train tracks lost in thought while other people were screaming at him that the train was coming i was about two minutes behind and saw the immediate result of this guy not paying attention it's a weird feeling the matter of fact nature of seeing a dead person it's not like anything else changes the train stopped the people who saw it were horrified and the police came but before the end of the week no one at the school was even talking about it in my second year at university my good friend at the time went missing for two days and after getting the warden to come with me and check his room we found him dead he had committed suicide in the two days i hadn't seen him what still haunts me is that me last message to him was hey man you still alive in a joking way safe to say i've never sent anyone a message like that again happened at my elementary school party back around 1998 we were having a party at this teacher's house with about 30 other kids and four other chaperones there was a pool in the back that was about eight feet deep we were all jumping in and out of the pool and it was dark out eventually the teachers told us all to come inside because it was almost time to go home as we're all getting out of the pool there was still someone at the bottom and wasn't moving one of the chaperones jumped in and grabbed him he was already dead the whole school had a memorial for him and it was all honestly just a horrible time it was the summer in between ending high school and starting college went to a local beach with a few friends and their girlfriends it was overcast that day so there really wasn't anyone else there the water was pretty rough and we were body surfing for most of the day as we're surfing the waves we see coast guard officers roaming around by the edge of the water soon enough coast guard vehicles start driving on the beach near the water we knew something was up they told us we need to leave this stretch a beach immediately and don't be within a three stroke four mile radius of the area still a very odd request to me sure enough as we begin walking back to the parking lot we see something floating in the water i thought it was an animal until one of my friends turned white at the sight of a water bloated man lying face down found out a few days later it was someone who drowned while parasailing absolutely tragic we had a corpse turn up in the woods behind my house there was an older gentleman that would always chop firewood from tree falls out there one day he was hiking around saw what he thought was a weird rock turned it over and it was a human skull my house was right on the only access road so when i came home from school there must have been like 60 cars out there all leos and paramedics crime scene unit etc some guy who had schizophrenia went out into the woods it was an older gentleman that had gone missing a few years prior they think he died of exposure and coyotes had gotten out the body because he was scattered around when i was living in san francisco there is a homeless person sprawled on the ground i asked some passerby if we should call an ambulance and the guy at the store we were near said the homeless person did this all the time to get tips i got what i needed from down the street and on my way back i saw him being zipped up in a body bag by some paramedics in my junior year of high school my best friend and i were skipping school and walking around the woods by murphy park in park forest chicago heights there was an older man sitting on a bench on the trail briefcase suit etc he reached into the briefcase when he saw us pulled out a revolver shoved it in his mouth and ended himself my friend and i sat there and freaked before we ran to his house over on dogwood and called the cops i don't know the story all i know is i have never forgotten that smell since then also we didn't end up getting in trouble for skipping so we had that going for us which was nice thanksgiving when i was 11 years old i was walking around the edge of a golf course with my father and a friend when i saw some legs sticking out from a large bush small tree as i got closer i could see there was a shotgun sitting between the legs leaning up against the trunk my father thought it was a prank i pulled the branches back and witnessed something that i'll never forget the sight of what was left of the face the picture of what i presume to be his family in his lap i wanted to simultaneously vomit scream and run away i did the latter didn't eat for a few days drug raid happened near our house i live in the philippines while biking down the road down the house i find an arm sticking out of one of the nearby bushes thought it was a mannequin arm or something since one of our neighbors is a semstress ride over it thinking nothing of it when all of a sudden crunch i find out it was one of the druggies who got away but ended up dying of blood loss from being shot still had a knife in his hand safe to say i don't go on that route when biking to my friend's house i've come across multiple corpses mainly living in seattle most of the time there were overdoses the usual giveaway that they were dead especially in the winter would be to notice missing shoes not making a joke it's just how the homeless people would take their shoes if they were decent the first time it was a bit jarring to see the second third 14th time etc not as much my mom found a dead body on the hiking trail near our house in california still being guarded by the family dog she couldn't even get clothes it happened to be a classmate's father who had a heart attack i also saw a guy step in front of a car on purpose one night and held his hand as he died by that time i was very used to seeing dead bodies and it didn't really faze me on a drive to work early one morning i came down a hill to see a vehicle off in a field to my right it was upside down and on fire so i immediately stopped and called nine one one as i was running up to the vehicle i could see the driver still strapped in he wasn't moving or screaming so i could only assume he was already dead i couldn't get to him because of the fire i really struggled with that for a while i was walking my dog with my mom day before my 16th birthday looked down the side of a house with a huge garden we used to decide what we would do with it i saw a hand palm up but not the expected skin color pale pale white i said to my mum that it was a hand she refused to believe me said it was a dummy i got upset and asked her to go check yeah it was a dead old man long story short he had tripped on the doorstep and died on a very cold night in december i just hope he died instantly and wasn't alone for hours waiting worst thing was his eyes were open found a dead guy at the train station by where i used to live not sure what happened but i thought he was just a drunk waiting for the train he was sort of sitting with his head down i tapped him in a lame attempt to wake him up and got nothing i shook him a little harder and he just sort of slumped to the side and when his head went back his face was gray and his eyes were open but empty called the cops who came and gave my statement another time was walking to lunch with a friend in new york city a guy had jumped out of a window older buildings have windows at open even 20 or 30 stories up he nose dived bounced hard off a cab and was flopped in the street while the cops put the sheet down blood everywhere meanwhile the passersby stood there with their phones out taking pictures strange coincidence that this all culminated on halloween 2017. a friend of mine living in east london noticed that a man from the flat overlooking her balcony was looking straight at her late at night she brushed it off and finished her cigarette and went to bed the next evening when she was out there again she noticed the man still staring at her in the same spot she told her housemates and they decided he was just some weirdo who liked looking out of his window did you get a lot of strange folk in london on the third day the man was still there but his color had changed and his lower jaw had dropped open that's when they decided to call the police the police entered the apartment block and broke into the flat turns out the man had rented the flat recently and had hung himself by the window by crouching with a thin rope around his neck the police commented to them how strange it was that he didn't leave a note behind him that he had done his laundry neatly folded it up before killing himself we were the first on scene at a car crash on a lonely highway in azed on the way to the grand canyon we were medically trained wfr so we dove right in his chest was expanding and retracting so we thought he was still breathing in retrospect it could have been muscle spasms possibly agonal breathing as well weird thing is the car was facing the road perpendicular to the highway he was on the ground with some dried blood on him but the only window that was broken was the back window of a truck cab so the small window behind the head of the driver it does not seem possible he could be launched out the window behind his back while driving he could have gotten out of the car and collapsed when the cops and paramedics showed up they knew immediately that he was dead eventually we drove on and never heard another thing about it no resolution that is the hardest part how did he die on my way to school a few years ago since the bus ride is almost an hour long i would usually sit by the windows at the end of the bus and sleep that morning i was woken up by a sudden jerk look to the left and there it was a fresh accident at the next lane the body was still all bloodied and mangled up i went into shock told my teachers at school what happened and was sent to the counsellor who then sent me home still traumatizes me till this day be one morning last november i woke up and walked into my great grandmother's room to tell her good morning like i had always done many times before she didn't respond which was normal since dementia had kicked in and we had been having hospice over it wasn't till a few minutes later that my grandma told me that she had died sometime in the middle of the night i didn't even realize she was gone so why yay as a teenager i went on a walk through the green belt behind my house the woods had a peculiar smell but i was used to stumbling across dead animals on rare occasions so i didn't think anything of it clambered over a log and looked down to find i'd stepped in her hair she'd been left on the hidden side of the log wrapped in a tarp and was well into the process of decomposition no lips eyes etc went home and called my mom in a fog of shock and she called the police they didn't really believe me and were super casual while they walked me out to the spot so i could show them where she was their demeanors changed the instant they saw her and from there it was all a whirlwind she was my age murdered and dumped after sex by one of my high school teachers i testified as a witness to finding her never really understood why they needed that he went to prison but i think he might be out by now i feel terrible for her family it didn't traumatize me but it gave me a lot to think about in regards to the value and shortness of life i started saying i love you to my family members a lot more afterward in a retirement home i walked into a room to an old man lying on the couch i thought the old man was sleeping so i shut the door two hours later we saw paramedics walk into his room short version some buddies and i went to a park and decided to climb down the bluffs to the beach found a dead dude on the beach so bloated really gross turned out he had been missing for days after jumping into lake michigan to go after his [ __ ] hat that blew off started college two days later that was a hell of a week in my mid-twenties walking to work i saw three homeless men sitting against a brick wall drinking by some railroad tracks behind a target one of the men looked a little off that i couldn't tell why till i got a little closer he had some blood leaking from his ears nose eyes mouth not thick blood but watery i told the two men their friend looks like he needs help and they just stared off into the distance when i crossed the street and got to work i told my co-workers what i saw about 20 minutes later a co-worker called me over to a window to point out a coroner's van loading a body across the street after work i walked back to where i found the three men earlier and counted 15 empty vanilla extract bottles i have the impression he drank them all this didn't happen to me but i was there when it happened to my co-worker so don't know if this will get deleted we work at a local hospital and the er was super busy that night the waiting room had people sitting everywhere people standing etc so my co-worker went to the waiting room to call for a patient the trig nurse pointed them out since they didn't answer to being called in the overcrowding co-worker walks up to patient who appears to be sleeping in the wheelchair and their phone dropped onto the floor she picks up the phone and notices the patient was playing a game when she tries to rouse them again she realizes they aren't breathing obviously she yells out for someone to call a code and they wheel the patient back quickly to start cpr this person literally died in a wheelchair in a busy er sitting next to people probably minutes before my co-worker came out to get them talk about the worst luck ever i worked in a bar coming home at 2am stopped at a gas station got back in the car five teenagers in a convertible with the top down past me going fast i went around a curve and they had taken it too fast and hit a pole i pulled over two were in the front seat messed up the passenger was dead with a broken neck hanging over the back of the seat the driver was all bloody three girls were thrown out one dead and one dying i tried to help the dying girl she couldn't breathe she was scratching the grass with her hands the other girl was a mess and unconscious i stayed with the girl who couldn't breathe until paramedics got there she didn't make it i smelled alcohol but the newspaper said no alcohol involved pretty sure the driver's family had money i visited the other girl in the hospital and she asked if her friend suffered i told her no but she did i took donations for the funeral at the bar and gave it to the family to help with my trauma they took my up to the roof of the hospital and let me tour the medical hospital they were kids and went to school with my sister the driver lived and didn't get in trouble it was like a horror movie it was hard to get over i was 21. i drove around a dead body that appeared to have been been shot and was lying partially in the street no movement nothing just stillness there were already two or three people standing there over the body i think it was a man i continued on my way because i didn't know if it was an active situation or what the hell had happened the people over the person were definitely on the phone with 911 and clearly in distress over witnessing it or coming across the situation it was eerie and alarming [Music] you
