Dead Body Falls Out Of Coroner Van, Lands On Road

A dead body on a gurney fell out of a
coroner’s van when a door
malfunctioned, sending the corpse into
the middle of a busy roadway in
Pennsylvania.
The Bucks County Courier Times reports
the accident happened around noon on
Friday near a shopping center in
Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
A photo on the newspaper’s website
shows the corpse, wrapped in what
appears to be a white sheet, lying in the
street as cars buzz by. The Bucks County
Coroner’s Office says the driver realized
immediately that the door had opened
and retrieved the body within minutes.
The office says it “deeply regrets” the
incident.
A passer-by who helped get the body
into the van says he thought it was a
prank, calling it “the most bizarre thing”
he’d ever seen.
