Have you ever seen a dead body in person?(and how did you feel when you saw it?)

Various bodies at funeral's.

Some woman got ran over down the street from me, but I didn't see her body. Just a sheet.

I watched my uncle die from Pancreatic Cancer, and was in the room when he was pronounced dead. Uh, I cried for a few minutes. Then I was mad at myself for not making the most of the time I spent with him. So, I forgave myself, and I went on about my life. People say I'm weird for still remaining happy; As well as being able to talk about it with ought becoming emotional, just a few hours after he died.

Now I make sure I treasure all the time I spend with people now.

Yes. It was my granddad. I was sitting with him as he passed away. I guess overwhelming grief and shock is the only way to describe how I felt.

A few. Got a friend working as a pathologist and another working in crime investigation unit. Both valuable contacts in journalism job. Oh and seen several drowners since there is big river in my city, so when hanging out around the shores you get to see one every now and then.

It never really bothered me, only the drowned people smell terribly. But other than that i never had any shock/sickness issues with even dissected cadavers. Not much different from a cow or pig really and as a kid i had the occasion to visit slaughterhouses more than once.

Yes I have. I was on my way to college on the bus, when the bus ahead of the one I was on (a double-decker, no less) ran over a child. I saw the whole thing and was the only one left on the bus during the incident (because college was still so far away, couldn't afford to get off). I wasn't overly shocked myself (until I got to college, and then went home - my bro was very small at the time and I related the incident to him). However, I knew for a fact the bus driver of the double decker was. I felt sorry for him. It wasn't his fault, it was the kid thinking he would be able to out run a bus.

Someone I knew was actually on the double decker when it happened, he was really shaken up. I'd go on, but it would probably chill your bones.

I was in Vietnam once, and I saw two guys dragging a dude along the side of the road out in the country side.
I don't really know whether he was dead or unconscious though.
In hindsight, it didn't affect me as much as I thought it would.

I went to a morgue once.for some reason i couldn't stop laughing.Like it was uncontrolable i couldn't stop no matter how hard i tried. I'm not allowed to identify bodies anymore.

I hope you're not serious.
