Death in San Francisco-Summer 2006





These are pictures of the San Francisco coroners collecting the dead body of a homeless man. This gentleman had sat on a stoop a block away from my place and I would always pass him. He just sat there and never asked for money. He just sat staring off. Then after months of getting used to him always being there, on my walk home I noticed this van and took a close look. This gentleman was slumped on the floor in the middle of the alley. I saw them throw the white cloth over him, load him on a stretcher and haul him off. What a shame. And where do dead homeless men end up once the city picks them up?
RIP
