Yes, when my grandfather passed away I made my way out to the nursing home to be there to give him last rites.
-
Yes. Numerous car accidents and such, but up close... When I was 8, my dad took me on his milkround (it starts and midnight and ends at 9am, I'm 8 years old, oh THAT won't disrupt my sleep pattern!) The last stop was an old people's home, and there was a lady down stairs, sitting in a chair. Being quite a nice 8 year old (oh where did it all go wrong) a sat and chatted to her. She didn't talk back, but what did I care, I was just this mop of curls and a loud mouth, I used to talk to my sisters slippers. A nurse came in, and then the realised the lady had died.
-
Yes, this past September an employee in the building where I work jumped 7 floors to the granite atrium floor below. It was very shocking to see and very sad.
-
Yes I certainly have and only too recently Yesterday in fact. Today I had to register the death.

Yes. my grandmother. in her living room, with my famely.
-
Yes, too many to count and more than I wanted.
-
yes....i saw a man get hit by a car in guatemala
-
Yes.
-
Helped with traffic control on an accident site once while waiting for authorities to arrive. Motorcyclist lost control and hit tree at over 100 mph. You don't want to know any more than that. Trust me.
-
Multiple times: In mortuary: while dissecting for the autopsy (was scared to take bath alone for days) On the road: with crushed brain all over (was only 16 that time, did not eat for two days after that, then did not touch meat for months) -Patients died while I was withdrawing their blood in ICU or ER (this happened at least thrice). -Two colleagues died of heart attack at work. Many more, just got used to dead bodies now.
-
no
-
Yes, I was an art student and I went to a dissection at a hospital. We dissected a dead person and drew the muscles and bones. I remember taking a break for lunch and not being too hungry.
-
I do recovery on a volunteer basis with our local FD and PD as well as in Toronto harbor as part of my business. Both locations and different circumstances. A Mother and child through the ice of a local canal in their vehicle and a pilot of a cessna off the Toronto Island airport. The toddler was the worst. Other than that, older bodies. You can't get into the galley of the 2nd class dining room of the Empress of Ireland without passing the boneyard. There are about 60 people in there of the more than 1,000 that died when she went down.
-
Seen my father's employee lying face-down in a locked room of our auto shop. When I looked closer, what I thought was spilled beer around his head was actually blood. Turned out he was murdered and locked in that room, and I was unfortunately the first to discover his body. Seen a man covered with newspaper lying on the road after his motorcycle slammed against another vehicle. Watched my bestfriend slowly die of rabies in the hospital.
-
Yes, a dead motor cycle after a serious accident. My wife and i where there trying to save him.
-
i've seen alot. i've washed them and wrapped them up before escorting them down to the morge. that's apart of life when you work with cancer patients.
-
Yes, the unfortunate thing is the older you get, the odds of seeing a dead person shorten, untill you yourself are an Odds On Favourite for someone to see you, Dead.
-
unfortunatly thats one thing that comes with my job. i have to clean the deceased and get them ready for the coroners office to pick it/them up. you get used to it after awhile i suppose. i also seen pics of my deceased father about a week ago too if thats the same thing. that really sucked.
-
Yes. I ask to see my fiancee as soon as they brought him to the funeral home after the autopsy so I could say goodbye in private. It was very strange to see him laying ther like he was sleeping, but knowing he was gone. I just stood there and cried stroking his arm while funeral diretor held me up.
-
Yes. Twice. My father and a man who was in a crash crash.
-
Yes, twice. Once, I was part of a crowd of onlookers and viewed the body of a man who had been pushed down the stairs by his wife. Someone said he had been beating her. Another time I saw a body from a distance (the building next to mine). A young man had been stabbed to death by his girlfriend.
-
Yes. When I was younger and interested in going into medicine I volunteered at the emergency department in the hospital on the army base near me. The doctor who was my mentor at the time allowed me to witness and help (in non-critical capacity) in every case she handled. Once, an elderly man was brought in by ambulance who suffered a heart attack. It was obvious that he was dead and not coming back, but they had to perform CPR until some blood gas tests came back to make sure. When he was pronounced I had the displeasure of learning how to prepare a body for the morgue. We also had a soldier's wife who overdosed... she was alive when she came in, but didn't make it. I remember being so shocked... you always assume that if you are alive when you come in they could at least be able to keep you alive... but it's not always the case. I decided medicine wasn't something I could handle... but not just because of those two incidents.
-
Unfortunately, yes, hundreds of them (Viet Nam era).
-
Yes several times. But the worse was being woken by mum screaming on Boxing day. My grandad was dead in his chair. It was the fourth death in 4 years - one each on the 23rd 24th 25th and 26th of December. I didnt see the others...
-
yes i went and seen my nan and my mum before their funerals in the chapel of rest to say goodbye and leave them a rose and poem
-
Too many times. I know that I've caused two of them (military), and I've seen many more that I did not cause. The worst was seeing a pile of about 20 men and boys. And let me tell you. It really sucks.
-
Yes, both my parents in the hospital.
-
I have held people in my arms as they passed from life to death. There is no dignity
-
Does before the funeral count?
-
yes of course..and she died in my arms..It was my friend's mother. We were in the hospital and were monitoring her signs. She only had 6 heartbeat per minute. AFter a few minutes, she died while we were holding her...

Many. I was in the military. Death is a very ugly thing.
-
I was born and raised in The Bronx. I've seen people die right in front of me. Troops serving in the war see plenty of dead bodies. It's not the greatest thing in the world.
-
When I worked as a nurse, when I have taken care of family members at home as the have died, and at to many car accident seen that I have stopped at to see if I can help. The last and the one that will probably haunt me is my father's body in Jan of this yr when he commit sucide.... There is nothing pretty about death!
