a local woman goes to visit the mausoleum to see her dead husband, and she notices a lot of really putrid liquid dripping from the tomb above him.......anyone want to know what it was?

yep, the man in the casket above had not been enbalmed and the heat in combo with his steel casket had caused the body to bloat and eventually explode, his liquified organs and body fluids foreced through cracks in the concrete and dripping out all over.........they said it was 10 plus gallons of human smush all over the place.........

still waiting for the local news to link the story.

anyway, she is sueing because the yucky-ness got onto her dead husband's grave marker (and possibly casket, don't know)

would you sue?

They certainly owe her a clean-up.

apparently they had first told her they thought it was vomit, and then when she called the police they backed up and said that the body had been leaking for a few days and that they were trying to "figure out what to do"

only if they can determine which sticky, putrid liquid came from the casket above or which I spewed out when I realized what that liquid was...

the smell must've been horrific!

anyone saw that CSI episode where the body decomposed to liquid in a waterproof duffle bag?

I did a paper on decomp. of a human corpse, and it included corpse exlposions. I wouldn't sue s'long as they did clean the marker, 'cause it's not like they planned on the corpse exploding.

Well isn't it up to the deceased's will or the family to decide whether to be embalmed or not? So the morgue/funeral service company wouldn't really be responsible...


I was eating BTW *retching noise*

That is severely disgusting. I suppose it could come under some type of mental trauma case. It can be stressful enough visiting a departed loved one without having to worry about the bodily fluids of the deceased exploding all over the place.

I am not sure, I believe if they are going to be above ground then they have to do it here since it gets up to like 114F in the summer and bodies tend to explode.

now I said in the thred title "gross" so it's not my fault.

or worse... having the explosion happen when you're there... :(

I think I would add some bodily fluids to the scene if that happened to me.

note to self: cremation

you still owe me a sammich

nah, just have your family ship you to the body farm, you can rot next to me




you still owe me a sammich
and now I owe you 2. ;)

No, I wouldn't sue. It's bad as it is already. But I would demand a good clean up to straighten things out.

Body farms, eh? Don't have'em here AFAIK - at least I haven't heard of it.

Anyway, I'll become wormfodder when it comes to that. Either that, or I'll be rich enought (yeah right!) to build my own pyramid and rest there for the next couple of millenia http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Egypt.gif

Oh, and about the sickly-sweet smell only Nurgle might appreciate? It's bad. From my paramedic days I can say that it's not nice to be called to a "heart attack" only to find out it had occured some time back, right after breakfast, that was. *urgh*

That is nasty, but I don't see a reason to sue. A cleanup is all that should be expected. After all, the Husband was dead, therefore not harmed.

Anyway this will never happen to me as my remains (after the organs are used, I am a donor) will go to science and any not used there will be creamated and returned to the bioshpere.

Nurgle?

Nurgle?
Googling, I can guess it's either the 2nd thing that pops up in google,
"Chaos God of disease, decay, despair and destruction", from Warhammer 40000.
or the first one that pops up in google: "Nurgle's Nymphs - The World's Hottest Pornstars!"

One of them.

I... was.. eating.. just now..

Lol..

Well I seriously thought this had something to do with the mouse she found..

Perhaps I should read the preview thingy more often. :p

this is why I want to be cremated. Or, better yet, shot into the nearest blackhole

Ah. I see. A corruption of the name "Nergal", A babylonian, or Sumerian god I believe (after having offended so many different gods its hard to keep track of them all)

Yummy.

They certainly owe her a clean-up.
Indeed. Though I'm not sure whether or not I'd sue the company, as I ain't sure. Though I would agree that they did a poor job at preserving her husband's body - it seems they either didn't do it at all deliberately for say, financial reasons, or made human error, and forgot to preserve it, and it was disrespectful to the dead man.

This incident gives me more consideration and reason why I wish to be cremated....

I was avoiding this thread, but morbid curiosity got the better of me :(

If I were her I would demand that her hubby be moved to a top level permanent parking spot in the mausoleum so that this could never happen again. Definitly Id want old leaky Mac Goo placed below her hubby.

I'm disgusted and repulsed and I can't look away.:D

same curiousity drew me in too, but is it wrong that i find this a bit humorous?

Lol, That's about how I feel right now. I have a terribly vivd imagination too :(

Uh, not really. If you were there and you found it funny, that might be a little more wrong :p

well, the image that went though my mind was the woman of the man that exploded was at the crypt and was confessing her lies to her husband when the coffin shakes as the body explodes...

and she faints... :D

Lol! That does make it rather more humorous :D

What did you think they're going to do with the very liquified remains of the man who committed the crime as it were? I'd really hate to look inside there:p ...

Uh, not really. If you were there and you found it funny, that might be a little more wrong :p


I think i would have laughed. I dont know why, but i think i would have.

After all the shit i've seen, and been through i could use a good chuckle.

Lol! That does make it rather more humorous :D


see. there is a lighter side to liquification....

(if thats a word, and if it isnt then it is now....)

*Feels sick* :(

*Feels sick* :(

*hugs*

dont feel sick, itll be okay....

I would sue if they refused to clean it up, but just for the cost of cleaning it up and court fees.

*hugs*

dont feel sick, itll be okay....

*Hugs back*

It will be ok when I stop thinking about it, maybe? :p

just think about me instead.


...if that doesnt make you feel more sick....

I thought you didn't want her to be sick? :p :D

lol i was waiting for someone to say that...:p

Glad to help.

Body farms, eh? Don't have'em here AFAIK - at least I haven't heard of it.



Body Farm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Farm)

there is only one. ;)

That is nasty, but I don't see a reason to sue. A cleanup is all that should be expected. After all, the Husband was dead, therefore not harmed.
what about emotional distress?

Anyway this will never happen to me as my remains (after the organs are used, I am a donor) will go to science and any not used there will be creamated and returned to the bioshpere.
science won't take your body without your organs........the body farm will, but not "science" because there isn't a reason for anatomy students to go poking around in there if you are missing stuff. ;)

I've heard of this sort of thing happening before. I don't think I'd sue the cemetary where the mausoleum is located, but maybe I'd sue the funeral home that was supposed to embalm him.
