I saw my first dead body

I took the highway home from the mall, and the traffic was all backed up. Apparently, a pedestrian was hit by a car, then turned into "road kill" and cars just kept running him over.I passed the body. There were two white sheets covering it up. Two - because the body was split in half. I could still see flesh, and blood. It's weird - cause I've always spent a lot of time thinking about religion, after life, and death. And I always seemed to hate life more than I should. But once you see a dead person, it just seems to make you appreciate everything in your life. And it's like whoa - death is REAL.

I saw a dead body when I was on LSD, he had been struck by an SUV and they were pulling him out from underneath, head all bashed in. It really put me in a dark place at first, and then just made me want to run around screaming to the heavens how glad I was to be alive.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

ouch ,,,, I have never seen a dead body. But when I was about 10 I saw someone get shot in Toronto at blockbuster, never did find out if he died or not. I will defiantly never forget that though. And I saw one of my friends get run over twice and I puked and freaked out...
I would probably projectile vomit if I saw a dead body

Seeing a dead body isn't nearly as life-changing as watching somebody die.
In my book anyway.

Funerals, wakes, etc etc. Nearly everyone has seen a dead body.
Now watching someone die - that's where it's at.

Well I don't know if the guy that got shot died, my parents got me out of there pretty fast... and I don't think they would tell me he died at that age anyways
As far as blood and guts in real life, I don't wanna find out how life changing it can be

Just two months ago my friend came home to find his best friend and roommate hanging dead in the closet, knees bent and feet just barely off the floor. He could have stood up at any time. I've seen people get shot, stabbed, and die in some crazy car accidents, but I can't even imagine how that must have felt.

A couple of years ago, I was staying with my girlfriend at the time at her parents' house and her father had a heart attack in the early morning hours before we woke up. I found him dead on his own kitchen floor. He was a brown/gray color, cold and his eyes were open and dim.
Very, very surreal experience.
It was my first real brush with mortality.. it just sucked to have to tell my girlfriend that her father was dead and that I couldn't do anything about it. She freaked out, and I had to call 911 and all that shit.

Last week they tried to prescribe the same medication to my friend that my buddy who killed himself was taking.
He said to the shrink "My friend was taking this stuff and he killed himself"
And the shrink said "Yeah that tends to happen"
WHAT THE FUCK!?

I just realized I've never seen a dead body.

A wake or a funeral is a little bit different. It's more peaceful. Seeing two halves of a dead body on the side of the road with blood and guts, I don't know - I just can't compare.

I watched my buddy take his last breath in the hospital. It was so surreal. He was in a coma, and me and his family were all standing around, and the heartbeat, and breathing would get lower, and lower, and start to skip. Everytime that it did that, we would all look from the moniter to his body.
I don't know what i expected to see. Mabey his soul rise up?
