Morgue

Morgue

A nice shot of the morgue and body slabs. There are another six chambers on the right side, totaling a twelve body capacity, which is quite large for a mental health facility.

Hey Motts, if there were bodies in there, did they just pull them out and put them somewhere?

They pulled them out for an autopsy on the other side (if possible), then I imagine they took them out from this side to be placed in a medical van (or what have you) to be transported to the funeral home to be prepared for a wake and burial.

which floor is this actually on? I passed straight thru to one of the top floors of the building and set off a motion detector. So I was unable to stop and view the rest.

Did they always do an autopsy when they died? If they had no relatives did they a cemetary where they buried them?

Generally, autopsies are performed if there is a request for one to be done. Also, most psych. wards/hospitals had their own cemetary for unclaimed patients. Nowadays, an unclaimed body ends up in the common grave owned by the county (or sold to a university for med students to practice on, but I didn't tell you that, okay?)

I thought it was strange how they go all the way through the wall to the other side.

the bodies didn/t go to a funeral home, they were buried in a potters field, located next to the baseball fields located at KP middle school. i know because i grew up in KP and used to hang out frequently in the abandoned hospital bldgs.

The bodies of dead patients were released to their family. If they were unclaimed, they were buried in the hospital cemetary, which is located near the water tower.

The sad thing is I am sure a lot of the dead made it into a plain pine box in a numbered grave in potters field.

this room no longer looks like this. the slabs are gone and now everything is covered in some very nice graffiti. oddly enough theres no weird or cold feelings to be felt in this room...least thats wat i thought

They've since removed all the slabs.

Another great shot. What I love about the morgue shots, by the way, isn't that they churn a morbid curiosity, but that they humanize things... morgues are so hidden (not that they shouldn't be, death's not an easy subject to face) from normal life while they are such an integral part. These shots and ones like them are the only contact some will have with this type of situation, in life anyway, and it's a cleaner, safer way to ponder and observe, far from the last activity it held....

My great-great grandmother is buried in the potter's field/hospital cemetery after spending the last 23 years of her life at KPPC. She is in an unmarked grave like most, but I'll hopefully be placing a marker there soon. Maps exist of at least some of the occupants, and my gg-GM was lucky to be one of those marked. So sad that she's been forgotten...but not for much longer if I can help it.

the un named cemetery has a name. its called potters field. theres two parts one on the side of the quad .. sort of and it was also under where the new kings park highschool football field is. they found bones when they were building it. so weird how a town can just try to coverup dead bodies and secrets the way kings park has. nice town yes but i dont think i would want to live there.
