35. Lonely
One call that will always haunt me was on an unresponsive female at around three in the morning. We get there and do some pointless CPR along with the fire department…
She had been dead for a while; no shockable rhythm and clear rigor mortis. The most disturbing part was that the original caller was her 11-year-old daughter, who had just spent three days with her mother’s corpse and called 9-1-1 because she was ‘lonely.’ It also didn’t help that the victim was completely naked when we arrived.
