A good friend of mine was a homicide detective for many years. He still has nightmares too this day due to some of the scenes he investigated. The one thing he said always bothered him the most was when someone with pets passed and were not found for some time. He said the pets would eventually run out of food and water then would turn to the body to try and survive. He said it was even worse if the person’s home had an insect issue.
Yes, I had a neighbor once that worked in the Coronor’s office whose job it was to collect the bodies. Some were not bad and some were absolutely disgusting...............
