Dead people should not go swimming.
Weirdos. Why travel to another country to kill yourself. Doesn't Britain have any buildings you can jump off, or trains you can step in front of?
Hell, just go to a local soccer game and root for the visiting team!

If someone harbors a callous disregard for life, why should they respect the remains?
I dunno, they were probably pretty darn peaceful at the bottom of that there lake.
Also, I got a kick out of police divers looking for a lost sunshade. 18 years ago on Lake Havasu I dropped my sunglasses; can I get a little help here or what?

Trust me, I won’t go swimming after I die.
I don’t want my fine body to get bloated!
:-)
Tall buildings and trains are not a guaranteed way to die. Hit a tree on the way down from the roof and become paralyzed, unable to finish the deed, imprisoned in the mostly dead body.
Also buildings and trains and other similar methods can be used quickly, on impulse, in a bout of depression. However it takes much longer to travel to Switzerland, and once there the personnel will talk to the applicant. More chances to change his mind.
Because the Swiss have a sweet settup with people trained to talk you into the final act? I like the futball angle though. Shoot, just go into any mosk and say Muhammend is a bedwetter! Or draw a picture of Muhammed!! Instant fatwa!
It’s a big pretty lake, I bet a LOT of people’s ashes have been scattered there. Now why the facility was dumping these ashes rather than giving them to next of kin is an important question, but the whole “environmental impact” thing is just silly.
Why should there be any dignity for their remains? They WANTED death. They wanted their souls to be rid of their bodies. Why should it matter what becomes of their bodies other than being recycled into bleu cheese?
Any chance there’s a long list of liberals on that list.
Not long enough...
Well, the police divers are urning their pay.
True, true, true.
But did all those assisted suicide nut-wads opt for cremation? Did not any of them opt for a normal burial?
I guess not. As far as I’m concerned, cremation is a desecration to your earthly remains. It’s un-Christian.
So - in a sense - it wouldn’t totally surprize me that any fool who would commit suicide would also allow his body to be burned to ashes and then tossed in a lake.
.
Horrible.
Where were the families???
If you are going to go to so much trouble for something you obviously don’t care too much about, why wouldn’t you just dump the ashes and re-use those urns?
Freegards, thanks for all the pings
