“Top 10 Unique Things I’ve Done”
I’ve noticed a lot of sites with a list of unique things the author has done. In the interest of fitting in, here’s my compilation. As a death investigator, I supppose there are many things I’ve done that most people haven’t, so I’ll try to include things most people haven’t thought of…
1. Taken a deceased child from the arms of a grieving mother or father.
2. Done the above dozens of times.
3. Amassed more photos of naked people on my work computer than most people have on their home computer.
4. Driven a car with a dead body across the hood.
5. Collected and assembled the shattered remains of a 3-year-old’s head in order to figure out where it had been shot.
6. Climbed a tree to cut down a body.
7. Been stopped for speeding and given an apology instead of a ticket.
8. Examined a dead dog for signs of smoke inhalation.
9. Crawled about 50’ into a sewer pipe to drag out a body.
10. Been stopped by the state police with thousands of dollars worth of illicit drugs in the front seat and released (unrelated to #4).
I may add to this list in the future as I recall any more “out of the ordinary” stuff.

I would make a list but it would have nothing, absolutely nothing, on it that most people haven’t done. I’ve done everything and nothing (everything everyone else has, and nothing no one else has)

Oh Holy Moly! You drove a car with a dead person on the hood? Why not just move it and
then drive?

I find it amazing how you are able to deal with death day in and day out and still maintain your sanity. God bless the work you do - finding answers to unasked questions, giving dead people a voice, etc. Your blog is way interesting. Thanks for existing.

Very cool ! Think I will have to attempt said list myself. Mine wont be quite as gruesome, but as a 911 dispatcher, I am sure I can come up with an interesting factoid or two.

Can you ellaborate on the dog with possible smoke inhalation? I’m dead curious. Oops. That was an unintentional pun!
I am enjoying the stories!
