Not walking...

Pretty odd, that you can ride the subway in deceased condition for hours, and no one notices. It reinforces the stereotype of New York City as an uncaring place fully of self-absorbed people.

This is an acceptable source, because they're not saying the dead man was a Democrat.

He wasn't robbed. Nobody molested his corpse. I think he got off lucky. It's a sign of improvement in this depraved world that he could rest comfortably for that long undisturbed. :p

They didn't say if the corpse still had its pants on...

firstly, he was on the train some time in the early morning...IE before people are really using it. It is plausable that no one saw him. Secondly, many people sleep on subways. Are we supposed to go poke every person who is sleeping just to make sure they are okay?

had he been laying in the middle of the car, maybe someone would have noticed sooner. Sitting in a seat, it would be unlikely.
