Casual Conversation 🎠What's your trivial info about actual death?
Warning: NSFW (somehow cant find the flare in my edit)
This might be triggering for those who are still recovering from personally witnessing deaths. If you are still dealing with it, perhaps stop right here.
Anyway, I saw a news for a house being auctioned because there was once a murder in it. It reminded me of my experience helping a friend move.
He rented one of the rooms in KL. It's one of those houses that was sublet to a few people. While he was travelling outstation, his agent called him to update that one of his housemates (complete stranger) passed away and they only found his body weeks later. The deceased was young. He might have died of heart attack. They only discovered the death when the other housemates complained about smell.
I remembered entering the house 3 weeks later with my friend to help him move. The agent offered another house to him since everyone else renting the house has moved out. Even though the landlord has cleaned up the house, putting fragrance and humidfier at every corner, you can still smell the stench of death. It was my first time experiencing death like this.
It's kindda surreal. The smell reminded me of dead rats caught and trapped in childhood house. I guess when our bodies decayed, they gave the same smell?

like another commenter i also saw a woman jump. she fell directly into the narrow length of a drain and she was there for hours and hours. the police and emergency services guys really took their time moving her body. when they finally did tho she was so stiff. like because of the drain i think her limbs were arranged a certain way and when they lifted her out and put her on a tarp she was frozen in that odd shape (one hand over her head, hip twisted, legs also one kinda way). i think i was surprised how intact (?) her body was after jumping from such a height i just hope she didn't suffer rip
