The body of a man being transported to Shreveport, Louisiana fell from the back of a hearse and onto a busy Dallas freeway Tuesday. Dallas television station KTVT obtained photographs from the scene showing a gurney on its side and the man's body partially uncovered. A police report from the Dallas Police Department indicates someone called police saying they had just spotted a body on a gurney with a blanket over it lying in the middle of State Highway 175.
The investigating officer says he was met at the scene by two witnesses who saw the gurney fall onto the freeway. The officer says the man an SUV-style hearse stated the back door to his vehicle came open and the man's body fell out of the back. When he realized what had happened, the man returned to the scene to retrieve the body. Authorities say the body was being transported to a Shreveport funeral home after the man died Monday at a hospital in Mesquite, Texas.

This is why all hearse drivers should carry Robitussin (TM) with them. Nothing else will stop the coffin.
You know, I just can't believe you haven't stuned our beeber with a Just Damn ping over this one yet.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
You suppose he was naked?
LMAO! I had to read that twice. ;-)
I thought this was curious..."The officer says the man an SUV-style hearse stated the back door to his vehicle came open and the man's body fell out of the back. When he realized what had happened, the man returned to the scene to retrieve the body."
"When he realized?" can the back doors fly open in an SUV without knowing immediately? Must be modified so that the front is sealed off from the back.
