italian man drowns on the NC
DV8's dark posts serve a purpose for me. They are warning signs: if you do this (fill in the blank) this ( ... ) is what can happen. As a result I drive more defensively and choose where I live more carefully.
Those are some good points.
I do think, however, that the very idea that a photo of my near naked body, in stage rigor mortis, would be splayed across the pages of some two bit publication in some third world country might somehow convince me that it was neither the time nor the place nor the method for me.
Frightful photo and so unkind.
Edited to add....
I have no gripe with dv8 for these types of posts.
Truth be told, I always look.
I am surprised how many folks have taken my comment above seriously.

"- What news of the outside world?
- Terrible, Rabbi!
- Then don't tell me. If I want bad news, I'll read about Noah and the flood. Tell me, Avram, surely somewhere there are good things happening? Can't you buy a paper that prints those things?
- It's not my fault, Rabbi, I only read it."

I do not know why but in the DR they always print the cadaver pictures. Following the fatal event no one covers the cadaver in the way of most civilized countries. Maybe thats the answer, "civilized countries". At any event there seems to be all sorts of strange ideas about death. Wife told me that one of the reasons they keep the body around and on ice is to be sure the deceased is really deceased. Perhaps Haitian influences, zombies that sort of craziness. At any rate drowning drunk at age 99 following romantic activity on the beach is fine for me be it in the Atlantic or the Carib. And they can post my picture all they want as I will not be seeing it. Unless of course there are Dominican newspapers in heaven.
oh. sorry. i get ghoulish comments so often they all sound legit
as far as drowning goes, i don't think it's a particularly pleasant way to go.
I think it is a service to have these posts culled. Somebody may know someone. Thus is after all a forum of expats, mostly.
I was reading this in the train and immediately clicked it closed. I think it would be obscene by my communities standards. Although I used to buy el voters at the corner bodega and they had dead bodies.
And the suspects standing with all the drugs and guns displayed on a table. So much for not prejudicing a jury pool.
