There are no holidays for death...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  You must know already a person morbid enough to work in a mortuary must LOVE Halloween!  Haha.  I always had the urge on Halloween to wear a grim reapers costume to work.... but thought that to be tacky while working at the mortuary...  Anyways, after we had the amazing conversation about man's best friends.... Lets kick this up a notch.  Since it is a tradition to celebrate holidays with drinking we will discuss the aftermath of drinking and driving.  One amazing day at work I had the opportunity to go on a coroner call that was a car accident on a freeway on ramp. It was a hot summer day and my partner and I were on our way to what we thought was going to be just another accident that resulted in a death... Oh were we in for a surprise that day.  When we came up on the scene there was a small toyota pickup truck rammed up against the side concrete barrier of the on ramp of the freeway.  Glass, metal, concrete and other debris were strewn about the scene.  We got out of our plain white van and went for a good look of what we were dealing with...  A young man's body was sitting in the driver seat of the pickup.  The cops told us he was at the bar and got in an argument with his girlfriend.  He got into his vehicle and sped off... He ended up here.  While drunk and driving he ran into the side rail.  The merging sign flew off its attachments and came through the windshield of the pickup.  His torso sat behind the wheel, there was blood splattered in the whole interior of the truck cab, his head lay on the seat beside him.  This young man had been decapitated by the sign that flew through the windshield.  It took three sheets and a ruined shirt to get him out of the truck.  I have never seen that amount of blood in one place.  His heart kept pumping the blood out of his neck until there was nothing left to pump.  After a celebration at the bar, he took his last ride.  Do not drink and drive.  What is left after may not be pretty to see.  It's not worth it.  Stay safe this evening and watch out for the ghouls and goblins out.
