A body found by hunters in the Old Ridge Road area near the Little River claims it is not dead, according to Hanover County Assistant Coroner Merv Guilford.
“He told me when they brought him in that he wasn’t dead” claims Guilford, who was all set to perform the autopsy but stopped when the body started yelling at him and thrashing around on the table apparently to prove his point (Left). “I can’t very well cut a body up when it’s moving around so much, so I postponed the autopsy until I get a ruling from the Coroner, Fred Wingo, and he’s on vacation until after Thanksgiving.”
EMTs who brought in the body also reported that it claimed over and over in the ambulance that it wasn’t dead, and the hunters who discovered it repeated the same story, even saying that the body was up walking around at the time of its discovery. “I seen him first, down in the woods,” says Blanton Road resident Herman Teagarden. “I told the other fellas that I seen a dead body, and that’s when Rocko called 911 and got the ambulance guys down here to pick it up. My daddy said he hoped I never had to see a dead man, but now I have.”
The autopsy will be performed upon Wingo’s return, despite heated objections from the body itself, who has to remain in the Hanover County coroner’s body storage until November 30. Guilford is leaving the door unlocked so the body’s spouse can bring it Thanksgiving.
