Saw a man die

I saw my mom die from ALS I don't wish that
on anyone. Let me tell you some nothing worse
then seeing someone active slowing down
and becoming pretty much paralyzed from
it.

So last week, as I'm waiting at the train station on my way home from work (as poor as that sounds) I saw a man die.
It was raining and me and this guy were stood in the shelter together. Me sat down, him stood in the doorway just about out of the rain. An announcement comes out over the speaker that the next train coming through the station was an express train and wouldn't be stopping.
As the train starts to approach at a high speed, the guy causally strolls out of the shelter and walks towards the platform edge. At first I thought he just thought the train was stopping but he kept going. With impeccable timing he dropped off the edge of the platform just as the train was arriving. I don't think he even hit the floor before the train hit him.

I don't want to go into too much detail as to what was left but it was messy. I swore and immediately rang the police. I've never seen someone die before and especially in such a graphic way.

It took an hour and a half before I was done giving statements to the police and got to go home.

As a soyboy millenial I am having some issues coming to term with this and it has been playing on my mind. Being a sensible person I have come to Sherdog for guidance.

How many of you have seen someone die? Did it bother you?

Seen a shit load of people die, jumpers, shoot themselves, pills, ODs, crashes, etc
 
We have a particular spot at my work where a few people have chosen to commit suicide. 40 story drop and they always land on this roof where we have a bunch of exhaust fans. I always have to take the paramedics/police up there. Ive also walked in on a dude drowned in a bath tub and a suicide via headshot. Lots of people commit suicide in Vegas.
 
It's interesting that most people* probably never see anyone die these days, whereas that's probably something everyone would have experienced in the relatively recent past.
Back when people died at home instead of in hospital you were almost guaranteed to be in the room when a parent or elder died.

Not that I want to see it necessarily. But it's kind of weird to think it would fuck you up considering it wasn't uncommon, if not being routine, not too long ago.

A couple of years ago I saw my uncle die from assisted suicide. It was quite peaceful and there was like 40 of us with him. It was very tough on my mom as they were like best friends. Sad but I was ok with it all.

I was telling my cousins afterwards if I had to choose to go out, I wanna go out like uncle. Cancer is a motherfucker.

Probably a big difference in fucking you up between passing away in their sleep to a violent or messy death. Interesting point about hospitals insulating us from death. Birth is probably in the same situation.

Sorry, bud. You never forget the first one you see. Mine was a partial ejection in a rollover crash and the man’s head came apart into multiple pieces. Had a really hard time with that. If you need to chat, shoot me a pm.
 
@aunshi189 You might want to use the empty chair method to tell that guy what you would like to. I might imagine anger for making you deal with it among other things.
 
So what exactly about it is bugging you, @aunshi189? You said you were a pussy Lil soiboi, so surely you must be able to - at least somewhat - articulate yourself as to the specifics.

After all, the Dog needs the specs.
 
I saw my close close buddy die 12 inches from my face. He was driving I was sitting behind him. I was really busted up couldn't walk for months and months but he didn't come out of it alive. That was 2004. Fucks me up to this day. I'm terrified of riding in cars now.
 
I've only seen a man get his head get cut off clean by the mexican cartel online on video. Pretty fucking gruesome and fucked up what humans can do.
 
I feel bad for the train driver most with this form of suicide. Front row seat.

They don't get paid enough for this shit.

The first time I witnessed a death was when I was at my first ever job. Just a shelf stacker in a local corner shop.

Guy starts banging on the window for help. Go out to see what's happening and he is laying there holding his chest. Said he'd been stabbed. I tried to keep the blood in with my hands and put pressure on it while someone else phoned an ambulance. There were too many wounds though and the blood kept pouring out.

Took about 10 minutes for the ambulance to get there. The poor guy asked me if he was going to die and I stupidly pretended not to hear him. Then he was gone.

Got shouted at by the boss the next day too because I apparently left the shop a mess and holding a dying man in my arms near closing time wasn't a good excuse. I should've already finished all the work by the time that happened lol.
