...Remember the one of Purentes recovering in the hospital room? You said he was a dead woman, with his jaw tied shut to keep it from falling open (in death)...

I did a whole lot better than the scenario presented orginally, it was supposed to be an image of a seventy-year old dead 'person' who hadn't been accounted for. I suggested it could have been a young person with their jaw supported to keep it from falling open, which is what is done immediately upon death. Turned out to be a young male with a neckbrace.Big deal.

I made it clear to the freeper who posted that vanity, that showing photographs with the question 'What Do You See?' was going to go nowhere.

So what did you think it was? You must have been on the thread to know about it. Did you immediately identify Puentes, or did you do what the rest of us did, try and work out one step at a time what we might be looking at?

Hey, at least I knew it wasn't someone 70 years old. And so what's the major difference between a photograph of someone sleeping with a neckbrace on, wrapped up like a mummy - and someone who recently died?

I'm all ears.

You need to check the thread, Fred. My very first post re: the identity of the person in question was to state decisively that it was Puentes. [Proving again the legal maxim, don’t ask a question unless you already know the answer.]

By contrast, here’s what you said of the photo:

“I think the image of that person on the bed all wrapped up is of a young person who is DECEASED.”

“That person wrapped up sure looks deceased to me, her jaw has been bandaged beneath her chin(ear to ear)to stop her mouth falling open.”

“But there are plenty of images of the photographer on this thread alone. He’s NOT the person wrapped up on the bed.” [Except that...it was. It was Puentes the photographer, that is.]
