typical morning...

NOT!

we woke at 6 a.m.-typical
took a shower-typical
tidied the upstairs-typical
heard noise outside-uh, sometimes typical
looked out to see lots of cops-not typical
dog goes crazy at someone knocking on the front door-very typical
policeman at the door-not typical
police asks lee if he heard anything last night-not typical
dead body in the brush next to the traintracks across the street from our house-sooooo NOT TYPICAL!!!!

ugh, very disconcerting. they assured us already that they do not suspect foul play but geez, a dead body was there this a.m...we walk through there sometimes. yikes. just sooo creepy. It was a young guy, 20-22, goatee, dead most likely since last night given the rigor that had set in already. wow.

was it close to Tim's driveway? How aweful- probably some person walkingtheir dog found poor soul. Wonder if got hit by train and thrown

yes, the guy who lives on marlowe and works for SLIFE was walking his dog (doberman) around 7:30 a.m. and called it in.

I didn't talk to police but between virginia, tim, and don who did talk to the police they said it was suspected he fell and hit his head, they did not suspect the train. I am only assuming this is from his injuries??

big news around here...big news.

the actual location is a little west of tim's drive...there is a little cut through path up to the tracks. there is part of a fence as well. I am assuming that the city will now block the path since someone died there...is that a bad assumption? haha.

so sad if that is how he died- I would hate to think of my son lying there dying all alone.

info last night said on NPR that a rocky river male, late 20s, was found next to the railroad tracks.

this a.m. the paper said that it was a male, no ID, early 30s, likely died after hit by the train, ruling out suicide since they think he was running?

I don't know because he was not near the tracks..so unless he crawled to the place he died? hmmm. guess we might never know.

still creeped out by it all.

oh man - that is horrible sounding. I haven't seen or heard any of this on the media. poor guy.

Mom said...

If he got hit by a train,he was thrown,just by the force alone. Also, don't believe the media-they always get the story mixed up.
