Kennedale resident finds body in vacant lot

by PegNews wire

As this headline trumpets, a Kennedale resident has stumbled upon a "decomposing body" and, after the fashion of any good (non-decomposing) citizen, reported it to authorities. Who proceeded to discover no evidence whatsoever about the identity of the deceased individual or the circumstances of his or her death.

The body was found in a vacant lot at 6800 Hudson Village Creek Rd., and it would have been a much bigger story if the body had NOT been decomposing in our 100-degree North Texas heat. Kind of a dog-bites-man thing, with an X-Files twist.

A human body can decompose to merely bones in less than a week if exposed to elements, fauna and microbes in temperatures 100's.

A week is probably somewhat fast. Everyone can brush up on their decomposition skills here:

Hey, I've watched like five seasons of CSI. Identifying bodies is easy. You just scan the bones into a computer, forward it to the big FBI database, cut to commercial break, and after learning that Cialis can repair marriages, a copy of the person's driver's license and some other pertinent faxes will come in on the fax.
