Dead men’s tales…
Two hours of lectures from the state pathologist this week were as expected: really gruesome photographs punctuated by hilarious anecdotes. We even got to play a game of “Suicide or Homicide?” where she showed us a picture and we had to guess what type of death it was.
She told us of a time when she was sent bones that had washed up in Kerry that were transported in a lovely coffin donated by the community… which turned out to be the remains of a seal.
And about the time the deceased’s brother came knocking to reclaim the false teeth they both shared.
We discussed the high correlation of sudden violent death and a last meal of chips.
However, without any embellishment this was the strangest story she told us:

Proving that what she repeatedly said was true: there’s nowt as strange as folk.
