redkneck Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Pager went off before daylight, body was sighted on the side of the interstate. Nothing could be done, this guy was DOA. Seriously folks, bad that someone is so blind and driving that this teddy bear (although he was a good 5' tall) appeared to be a person? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Poor fella. I bet he beared his soul to someone and they killed him for it. Are you in charge of the investigation now??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The investigation is ongoing. Will get autopsy report a few weeks after it is sent in. I figure DOT will pick him up around July. Would have put him on the truck, but he was kinda wet, and a 5 foot tall wet teddy is kinda heavy and nasty. Coming back from the camp yesterday morning, I couldn't help but snap a pic. The caller described the body as "wearing brown pants and white shirt".

wtnhunt Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 bad that someone is so blind and driving that this teddy bear (although he was a good 5' tall) appeared to be a person? Yep, pretty bad, but then again if it was off the road maybe they were focused on the road and just caught a glimpse in their peripheral vision. Funny though.

ruttinbuc Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Somebody couldn't take care of him and rather take it to a shelter or a nursing home they just dropped him off and he ran into traffic. So sad...Nice of those jokesters to call it in though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 His uncle "Fozzie" just called the station. It appears that he is originally from the "Paddington" area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 i'm happy that we only have a funny story here, not a real one. too bad it wasn't smokey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Along the same lines there was a story last week on our news we get out of Memphis about a tiger on the guard rail somewhere down there. It was a realistic stuffed animal, but had a few callers calling in and reporting it. Realistic enough that one person interviewed thought it might have been an escapee from a zoo.

buckee Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) i'm happy that we only have a funny story here, not a real one. too bad it wasn't smokey. That would be a tragedy. We would lose our only expert on preventing forest fires. Now Yogi or BoBo on the other hand are nothing but a picinic basket raiders and I don't think too many campers would miss them. I guess we'll just have to wait for the forensic report to come back to see who it is. Edited January 23, 2011 by buckee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My question is ............ why would who ever called it in not stop and check it out ? It may have been someone injured. Then again, just last week ( in Toronto I think ) a 66 year old woman with alzimers was outside screaming for help, alot of neighbours heard her but no one went to help or even called it in, she died. I guess there are people in the world who just don't care about anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 That is so sad Lewis. It seems to be like that in all the big cities these days. No-one cares, no-one wants to get involved, and they just turn their heads and keep walking. Very sad indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Kinda thought the same thing Lewis, but if my wife and kids passed a murder victim i sure wouldn't want them to stop and get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TennesseeTurkey Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'll be the one to ask the stupid question... Do you really get calls to go check out dead bodies lying on the side of the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 We get calls to assist ppl in a life support role. The caller reported a body, the person could have been alive. Got paged 2 weeks ago to a car with a bullet hole in the windshield and a hat was laying on the headrest. Was phoned in as possible suicide, car was empty. We do assist with body retrieval and extraction (jaws) that is no fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Kinda thought the same thing Lewis, but if my wife and kids passed a murder victim i sure wouldn't want them to stop and get out. Same here. Sad truth is anymore you just cannot be too safe. Have heard tons of stories of setups for carjackers. At least the person did call. Last time I stopped to help someone, I have to admit I took the wife and kids home and went back in my truck, it was not a dire situation though. Seems it should be the police/sheriff/leo responsibility on those body calls, would think they would want the least people around as possible.
