As a Police Officer that quite often attends "sudden deaths" I can say that out of all the incidents I have gone to, only one has ever really played on my mind. The deceased in question had decided to take his own life, as a few weeks before, his fiance (who he was due to marry shortly) had been taken ill, and had died in hospital after suffering a brain haemorrage. The body itself was not distressing (dead people don't usually bother me), but it was the incredibly sad circumstances that made it stick in your mind. Still, in my job it's very easy to get very hard and unfeeling, and it at least proves that I'm still human.... (just!) PC Plod
