Collected Usenet writings from "Tae, the paramedic from hell." These stories are incredibly grotesque but equally compelling. Just not while you're eating.
Upon arrival, my partner and I walked up a flight of stairs to a
teenager's room. A male of about 13 – 15 years old, was hanging from
the ceiling. He had been dead for at least a couple of hours. The
physical signs? Incontinence of the bladder, a light-blue tinge to
his extremities – positive Smurf-sign, both orbits of his eyes were
bulging forward, his tongue was out – and quite blue. What was
interesting to note was the distension of some of the large veins on
his forehead, and the petechiae over his face. Petechiae are small
reddish-spots that occur when capillaries burst under the skin –
usually due to a increase in pressure.
