How do you navigate? You never fail to find the morgue in each place youve been and I'm sure its not always marked on the buildings...

Morgues and medical facilities are almost always centrally located in these mental health facilities, but sometimes they are in seperate or well sealed buildings or wings; I've missed out on a few for those reasons.

It is the 27th of August. Has the hospital been demolished yet? Just wondering. I'm in AZ.

I was in there 8/27/05, there was a hell of a lot of "Red Water" in a couple of trays.

Thom,
The hospital has not been demolished, but there has been extensive cleaning and gutting of the insides. Seems like someone is trying to preserve the place or something.

I would love to go along with them or even do this on my own, but I'm somewhat "sensitive" so I don't think I could handle something like this. I still haven't accepted it fully and still somewhat scared of this ability I have. My house and neighborhood has a lot of history, so I hear and see alot, even in my own home! I jsut tend to ignore it so it does not freak me out too much. but great photo! Keep up the good work

I find it interesting that 'sensitive' people usually type or write the word just as jsut.

The buildings are not being demolished, the are being completely re-done and will be used as low-priced housing. They are trying to insulate the building so that they can bring in heaters in the winter and wook on the inside then.

They are demolishing the main building, called old main. They're just looking for the money to do it. I'm pretty sure the morgue will be demolished too.

Remember the few times that I brought bodies in the middle of the night to this particular morgue. Their were two in the complex, one in the Main bldg, and one in Haskell.

Lynne, I have to wonder if any of the patients ever accidentally wandered to the morgue and were permanently traumatized by this? Has this ever happened anywhere you have worked? Perhaps a morbid thought but my morbid mind just has to wonder.

No, nothing like that I've heard of where I have worked.

The deterioration from the previous NSH gallery and this gallery is astounding. This wasn't nature at work. This was mindless vandalism. Those who do this take stupidity to a whole new level.

this is not morgue. this is a mortuary. Morgue is not called as hospital basement in england.

The words are used a bit differently in the United States. Morgues are usually located in hospitals with refrigeration units and sometimes an autopsy table, while mortuaries are the rooms at funeral homes where bodies are embalmed and prepared for the family.

but are you agree that American and England have different design for even a morgue? American made morgue's refrigerator, a doors for a slab/tray. But England made morgue's refrigerator, a doors for 3 untill 4 slabs/trays
