Resuscitation
"Police claimed that because most of the body had been skeletonized, no resuscitation attempt was performed." Quoted from an article on the internet.
They said from the clothes he wore that he was a male
Really in the year 2022, one cannot tell from a person's dress
Nor what might happen if you pronounce a sex
Coroner look closely again at skeleton left
The body was found by someone doing a YouTube report
He was going around exploring and filming abandoned building
He had to climb a ladder to enter this building that had been a church, but
All boarded up for so long, therefore entrance on the first floor to the church~
Impossible
The second floor was living quarters where the deceased was discovered
It had been ten years plus since the church was an active, ongoing fellowship
So much can happen in ten years plus
A live human being can become skeletonized
I wonder who he was, did his family want to learn what had happened
Were they missing him and desiring his return
Will they ever learn the fate of their loved one who had gone missing
Is there enough material to do a DNA sample?
Did his loved one's life go on just like before or
Has their life been suspended in time waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, watching, waiting, longing, crying or
Glad that the person has gone on somewhere else
Matthew 25: 13. Therefore, be on the alert [be prepared and ready], for you do not know the day nor the hour [when the Son of Man will come]. Amplified Bible ( This does not refer to our time of death, but it made me think about how we don't know.)
