Interesting post 100550.
The photo is from January 2009
The photo is from the elevator shaft of an abandoned warehouse in Detroit. And yes, that’s an actual dead man encased in 2-3 feet of ice. It was discovered when “urban explorers” were playing ice hockey in the basement. Get ready for the most macabre and depressing story of urban decay you’ll read this week.
The man who found the body is an urban explorer who gets thrills rummaging through and photographing the ruins of Detroit. It turns out that this explorer last week was playing ice hockey with a group of other explorers on the frozen waters that had collected in the basement of the building. None of the men called the police, the explorer said. They, in fact, continued their hockey game. The body had already been there in ice for a month - so what difference would a little longer make?
“Well, it’s not like stopping the hockey game is gonna bring him back to life now, is it? What’s the rush? I don’t want to sound callous, but it’s not like he’s at the top of the triage list.”
A colony of homeless men live in the warehouse. Wednesday morning a few fires were burning inside oil drums. Scott Ruben, 38, huddled under filthy blankets not 20 paces from the elevator shaft.
“Yeah, I seen him,” Ruben said. The snow outside howled. The heat from the can warped the landscape of rotting buildings and razor wire.
Did he know who the dead person was?
“I don’t recognize him from his shoes.”
