More on dead bodies
Fast on the heels of my post yesterday about dead people being used as crash test dummies comes this story from The Age.
While identifying the body of a loved one is probably a very harrowing task, nary a few hours after watching his girlfriend's shattered corpse being retrieved from The Gap in Sydney, Gordon Wood visited the morgue for closure of a very different kind.
In a statement to police, former Glebe Morgue attendant Kenneth Nichols said he was alone on the afternoon of June 8, 1995, when Wood walked in, identified himself as Caroline Byrne's boyfriend, and asked to see her body because "I want to see her titties".
You can only assume they opted for an open casket at the funeral - only at mid-riff level, of course.
