Oh my gawd, you just reminded me of some old family history regarding stealing from corpses 😂...There was a mass murder in Washington state back in the 1930’s. My husband is related to the victims:
After surveying the scene, Sheriff Blankenship left to seek help from the Seattle Police Department in collecting evidence. He assigned a deputy to protect the integrity of the crime scene at the residence.
The deputy did not carry out his assignment. “Instead he charged a crowd of 150 people 25 cents each to walk through the house and view the slaughter. The gawkers scattered gum wrappers and one woman stole the stockings off Anna Flieder’s legs” (Bremerton Sun).
So I guess that’s why the soldier is pantless. At least someone had the courtesy to give him a leopard blanky, unlike Anna Flieder who lost her silk stockings in front of a gum chewing crowd.
Why does it look like his pants have been stolen and he’s under a faux fur blanky?
...probably because someone stole his pants and he is under a faux fur blanky?
...all kidding aside, creepy things happen to dead people over "there"...
...and sometimes creepy things happen to people before they are dead over "there"....
