    I've seen dead people

    Prompted by a conversation with my wife today. She works in a care home so regularly deals with end of life, apologies in advance if in bad taste or poorly timed

    In order

    My Mum, in a chapel of rest in Bath hospital, after a car accident
    An old woman lying in the street near Stade de France in 2003. It was that punishing heatwave in Europe. She had keeled over and was obviously gone
    Another football one, a guy two rows behind me collapsed in Cardiff during the first half of West Ham v Liverpool, 2006 Cup Final. It was in the papers next day that he had died, it happened pretty instantly
    Lenin
    South Africa 2010, driving home from Soccer City after a game there was a horrendous crash ahead, when we passed there was at least one dead, just lying in the road
    Mao Tse Tung
    Kim il Sung
    My step mum, in a nursing home, dementia

    I'm not sure if eight is a lot, especially considering three of those are pretty debatable
Working...
