Boy discovers mummified body hanging in Ohio home


 DAYTON, Ohio – A child exploring a vacant home in an Ohio neighborhood makes a gruesome discovery.
 
The terrified boy stumbled across the homeowner’s mummified remains.

Michelle McGrath says her 12-year-old son is adventurous.

When he saw an overgrown house in Dayton, he ventured inside.

However, what he saw may have scarred him for life.

As primitives alienate their families more and more everyday, they take refuge in their hovels with their only contact with the outside world being Skin's Island.  once they die, nobody cares and the self absorbed inhabitants of the island show zero interest.  They contribute nothing to their communities so nothing about them is missed.  If anybody remembers them at all, it is their poor attitudes and outlook on life.  Those that remember will chalk it up to the world being better off.

2. Nah...

He'll get over it and have a cool story to tell for years to come.

Doesn't every adventuresome kid secretly dream of finding a DB? I know I did.

I don't know about primitives, but seeing a dead body would not be something that would even occur to me as a happy event as a kid.

8. I know. The assumption that he will be 'scarred for life' isn't based on anything.

I came across a dead body while working at the St. Louis Zoo one afternoon. One of the railroad conductors had died in his office. When I came to collect the day's receipts, I discovered that the day had ended earlier than usual for him.

Randy forgot to add that he cleaned out the conductor's pockets before notifying anyone about the body.

 it’s a sad commentary on the community that someone could be dead for so long without anyone ever noticing.

Primitive fails to recognize the ghost of Christmas future

DUmmie needs to move out of the city.  Happens all the time here. 

9 times out of 10, it's the mailman that makes the discovery, unless the deceased is a DUmmie, in which case, who cares!

DUmmie kid breaks into a home and finds dead body.....then plunders the place and tells mom he "found it beside the road".....and oh yeah, there's a dead body hanging in that old house across town.

You mean like all the missing DUmmies that no one ever inquires about?

right, the postman would keep delivering past due bills and thinking it was normal........


Hey, is Postman one of those gender words we can't use?

Guess it's better than Letter Whore that used to be so common.

"Mailpersons"

I guess they just call them letter carriers now.

I call them mailman or mail-lady. The only problem is that mail-lady gets confused with male lady when talking about DUmmies.

Depends on where said bill are being delivered. 

Most low-rent/Section 8 housing apartment residents change addresses more often than they change underwear.

that's the truth. Back when i was a casual carrier, there was this one HUD duplex with poorly marked boxes on the wall.  I was new, so I put the mail in whatever box seemed right. of course it wasn't and the people called to complain.  The solution? hold the mail until an actual apartment number was visible. Wouldn't you know it? actual numbers got put on with a sharpie after the 1st of the month came and went.

Yes! As kids, a friend and I would scour the riverbank after big floods in hopes of finding a dead body.

Floods weren't big enough back in those pre-global-warming days, I guess.

We were never successful, but rumors of other kids finding corpses kept us going.

We did find other cool stuff, though.

My cousins actually did find a body floating in the Hudson River one summer afternoon.  They were 12 and 13, I think (it was almost 40 years ago).  They actually though it was a mannequin floating in the water and were going to throw rocks at it, when one of them noticed that it looked too real.

Our Post Office had to do something similar with a group of 4 CBU's (cluster boxes) at a trailer court.  They were old, flimsy, half the doors were missing from people prying them off, the last straw came when one was hit by a car!  For 6 months, we had tried to get the owner of the park to install new boxes.  Finally, 1 week before the 1st of the month, we held the mail for all 60 addresses.

2 weeks later, new boxes were installed.   

Whenever I subed on that route, I would deviate the route enough to deliver the "trailerhood" earlier in the morning, rather than mid-afternoon, before most of the residents "came to" (vs. "waking up").

That seems to be rule one at the post office... make sure those idiots get their checks. EVERYTHING revolved around it.  On that same route, the first stop of the day was at a super america to do a split in a lower income area.  Some genius is there first thing at 6 am wanting his check and for me to fish it out for him.  Since mail gets distributed in order, I told him to go home and he'll get it when he gets it (pretty sure he wasn't even on my route anyways).  I proceed to walk the entire split and the end of it is back at the super america.  When I walked in, the cashier was laughing his head off saying that idiot was waiting on me since 5.  If you can manage to drag your sorry butt out of bed at 5 to collect an ill-gotten check, surely you could find meaningful employment.  I always challenge proponents of welfare to deliver mail for 6 months to see if their views change.
