Death Certificates

By Mike

A few weeks ago I was looking up a death certificate at the local Register of Deeds office, and discovered that death certificates are really interesting.  It is, perhaps, one of the most voyeuristic glimpses into peoples’ lives.

My favorite read as follows, verbatim:

“Cause of death: Severe cranial trauma.  Pickup truck versus pedestrian.  Pickup truck: 1, Pedestrian: 0″
