The LA County Coroner's Office has over 200 employees, scattered between the main downtown building and three satellite offices.

Apparently the dead guy was a fairly weird character who appears in the supplemental material to a horror DVD from 2005 called Chaos. Here's one blog's description:

The short, called "Inside the Coroner's Office: A Tour of the L.A. Coroner's Crypt," featured the forensic technician showing writer/director Dave "The Demon" DeFalco around the morgue.

According to one film blogger who watched the clip:

"This dude is even weirder than DeFalco...he's kind of a mix between Dr. Lawrence Jacoby and Dr. Matthew "Frankenstein" Logan. He walks us through the various crypts pointing out all sorts of stuff, like dead babies (wrapped in plastic) and dead fat people (wrapped in plastic)! ... He even shows off his "tools of the trade"...including a long handle, curved head branch trimmer and a dry erase marker!"

At the end of the video, Cormier and DeFalco reportedly discuss an upcoming collaboration called The Devil's Doorway, which deals with...

"... their theory on how true evil manifests in human beings...through methamphetamines! You see, the meth opens up a doorway to another dimension allowing demons to possess these meth-heads and then these possessed speed freaks commit brutal crimes!" link

Its also true that people do accidentally poison themselves. My 3rd grade teacher’s husband died while using a bug fogger and cleaning out another room in a small outbuilding they had.

He sat down to take a rest and that was all she wrote.

-—The short, called “Inside the Coroner’s Office: A Tour of the L.A. Coroner’s Crypt,” featured the forensic technician showing writer/director Dave “The Demon” DeFalco around the morgue.——

True story. I sat next to Dave in high school. He had long black hair and wore a navy down jacket year round. I never saw him with a book, but he always carried around an envelope. (cue eerie music)

One day I gathered the courage to ask him about the contents. He pulled out still photos from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He told me all about Leatherface... It was... unsettling.

This was in the late ‘70s, pre-VCR days. Apparently, his father, a dentist, had built a movie theater in his basement, and he bought the film for Dave, along with other horror movies. Apparently Dave spent a lot of time alone in the basement. He was very pale.

A few years ago, I decided to Google him, and, surprise! He had become a low-budget movie director, and the producer of “Chaos,” which Roger Exert called the worst movie he’d ever seen.

Ah, those high school memories.
