California

a commonplace occurrence? Probably 20 years ago, we went fishing in San Luis Pass (TX). It was over a Memorial Day weekend. Apparently a man had drowned. He laid unattended to for hours (actually for the duration of time we were there, plus some). It was an eerie sight for those still alive; facing finality like that - so in your face. But mostly, him being exposed like that for so long, felt disrespectful to the man who had lost his life. People who passed by openly wondered whether or not we should cover him with a towel. (Re: evidence tampering, in hindsight - we should have). ~ Both instances, very sad. The grocery store should have closed it's doors until the incident resolved itself. ~ They camouflaged the decedant, so people could continue shopping?? Ewww! In poor taste and morally reprehensible.
