Dead Man in the Driveway

[drcollie]

My wife goes for a run this morning at 7:45 a.m., sees a car parked at the end of our pipestem and down a little on our main road, with a guy in it. We get a lot of drunks sleeping it off that park around here on weekend nights, but we've also had a lot of break-ins in the neighborhood recently, so she comes and gets me. I walk down to the car - its a silver Hyundai, get the tag number, look inside and see a black male that looks totally passed out, or dead, in the driver's seat, slumped to the passenger side. There was a day when I would have knocked on the window then opened the car door...but not now. Last thing I need is to roust some guy and he comes up with a gun in my face, so I come home and call the police, then take the dog for a walk and the cop shows up within 5 minutes. He tells me the guy is dead when he finds out I'm the one that called it in. All he would tell me is it was non-violent, so nothing to worry about. Drugs, natural death, something like that. They haven't even taken the body out of the car yet....here's a photo. So the road is blocked off now, and will be for a few hours they tell me. Wakes ya up on Sunday Morning....
