Equal treatment

A very nice man from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office gave a media briefing today.

Mr. Jackson will be treated the same as everyone, he assured the media.

It's reassuring to know the Coroner, currently holding around 5,000 unclaimed bodies and thousands more unidentified ones, will continue it's unhurried work, unrushed by any considerations of stardom or wealth.

"Let's do these guys from skid row first, then the world-renowned star."

Interestingly, the Coroner will, for a fee of about $6,000, perform private autopsies, i.e., those not required to be done by jurisdiction.

Somehow, it's comforting to know that even there in the realm of the dead, capitalism flourishes.

Moo!

I know a few people i'd pay 6k to have autopsies performed on.

Oh...they have to be dead first? Never mind.

So we know he wasn't suffering from heart disease, right?

meno: Cow now frightened, verrrry frightened.

Gorilla: Cow sensing GB has inside information. Possibly, there were bananas involved, and the Congo.

Doghouse: Cow sadly, assumes you are right...
(Cow wishing she'd cornered the market on those sequined gloves when she'd had the chance)

Moo!
