People Who Work With The Deceased Shared Some Of The Most Unsettling Things They Have Ever Seen
Even though death is a natural part of life, most people avoid even mere discussions of it at all costs. Still, there is a large number of professionals who come face to face with death on a daily basis. I am talking about professionals such as paramedics, hospice workers, morgue attendants, and more who are often required to work with the deceased at some point during the transition from death to memorial service.
These jobs often require a considerable amount of compassion and courage to complete respectfully. But, in the process, professionals who work with the deceased are also exposed to some strange and unsettling sights.
Many of these workers came forward on a Reddit thread to share the most bizarre and unnerving things they have ever seen while on the job. And fair warning, some of the responses may be grotesque, upsetting, or stomach-churning.
This Man Responded To A Car Accident
“In my early days as a first responder in a rural area, we were the first on the scene. I responded to a multi-vehicle accident where a man had been decapitated.”
“I got in the passenger side, and his head was hanging on by a few tendons on the right side. Without thinking, I grabbed his head and tried to ‘put it back on.'”
“I don’t know why. In retrospect, I think I saw something that was not ‘right,’ and instinct told me, ‘This goes here.’ The old timers laughed and teased me a few times.”
“But then, one of them pulled me aside and told me it was not the first time someone had done that, and it won’t be the last. I have heard of other people doing similar things but have not personally witnessed it.”

This Mortuary Worker Saw A “Living Meat Puzzle”
“We had an older lady– maybe in her mid-sixties– who looked like a beautiful, youthful forty-year-old from the chest up and like Frankenstein’s monster below that.”
“I am talking numerous heavy scars all over, misshapen areas of her torso, lots of discoloration and fluid build-up. She looked like she had been attacked by a lawnmower and crudely stapled back together.”
“I came to find out she was really into plastic surgery, and even though she had an expensive, well-recommended surgeon, things started to go wrong. She got infections, her body was not responding well to the surgeries, and every procedure that was done to fix the previous ones just went worse.”
“They pretty much turned her into a living meat puzzle.”
This EMT Thought They Were Responding To A Fall
“When I was a neophyte EMT, we were called to the scene of a diabetic in a coma. His wife said he fell and hit his head. He was laid out on the floor of their bedroom.”
“And while the medic started assessing him, they found no pulse and set up the defibrillator. So, I was told to stabilize his head and neck in case it had been damaged in the fall.”
“But as soon as I had my hands in the correct position, I could tell it was no use… my fingers were in his brain. I told the medic he could stop as he was getting ready to shock, and he said no, we could shock him.”
“So I said, “No, Fred, he’s dead. My fingers are in his head!” It turned out that he had actually shot himself– swallowing his pistol.”
“His wife had cleaned it up, put the gun away, and then called it in as a fall. It’s one scene I will never forget.”
These Workers Discovered Hangings
“Hangings are pretty horrible, and we ended up responding to a man who had committed suicide after killing his girlfriend. He had caved the back of her head in with a blunt object and hanged her in a spare room before hanging himself.”
“The weirdest part of it is that he did not kill himself straight away. Her body had decomposed more than his, and the police on the scene estimated she had been dead for around four or five days before he killed himself.”
“Hangings are always very eerie scenes. They somehow seem staged, cinematic, unreal. And it’s odd what sticks in your memory. Like, how neatly they placed their slippers beside the ladder or how rough the knot is. Hangings also often extend the neck in an inhuman way.”
