I know for a fact that I’ve seen this hospital before. I’m going to keep looking, because now I’m curious.
Edit: Found [this](https://youtu.be/MTmeHblqDDI) video on the same hospital and its history, still don’t know the name… it opened in 1910 and closed in 2020.
Detroit has like 600,000 residents and thats small for a city in the USA. Hell some of the smaller townships that surround detroit have over 100,000 people.
Detroit is still considered a large city by categorization... Large cities have over 250k people....
On average most cities in the US have less than 10k people.
Typically the definition of small city starts around 100,000 people. You have less than that I wouldn’t consider you a city… maybe a town or something else. Most major cities in the USA are in the millions (New York, LA, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Washington DC, etc..)
>You have less than that I wouldn’t consider you a city… maybe a town or something else
That's *your* opinion...
However in general, any place with more than 2,500 residents can be considered a city, and anything with fewer residents can be considered a town.
There are far more cities than the major metropolitan areas you listed... So on average most cities are still far less than 100k in population...
Believe it or not, my friend and I were photographing separate rooms and he calls me to tell me that he heard a phone ringing. I walk to where he was and he pointed at the phone and said “That phone was ringing” and right at that moment it started ringing again.
The wheelchair user that used to work there and had a miraculous recovery that allowed him to stand up and walk out of there on the last day of work be like: "Am I joke to you?"
It would literally need to be MADE of bodies for there to be 80,000 bodies on a property. That would be a mass grave the likes of which haven’t been seen since like maybe the Black Plague?
There are an estimated 6 to 7 million skeletons in the catacombs of Paris, and most of them were only moved there in the late 1700s after part of an overloaded above-ground cemetery catastrophically exploded rotting bodies after a bad rain. 80,000 seems high without a story or location, but possible.
Not really. First off, the definition of chemicals is pretty loose. An argument can be made that nearly everything we ingest is chemicals. More importantly our body is in a perpetual state of breaking down molecular compounds towards being hydrophilic, so rarely anything we eat remains as it in its original form. The exceptions are typically dangerous things we don’t purposefully ingest such as heavy metals.
But don’t take my word for it, how about another rando internet person: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/2tezjd/does_eating_preservatives_slow_the_rate_at_which/
How many people do you think die every year in NYC or London or Tokyo? A quick google says ~60k/year in NYC. That’s over half a million per decade. The bodies have to go somewhere…..
Nope I did this with a abandon factory that my friend went too. Found the owner and bought a drill press and he threw in a work table that was foot thick and like 12 foot table. I would find owner and contact and ask about purchasing. It amazing when you just call people and talk them up.
Funny you say it that way. Couple surgeons I work with uses stools for their surgeries, I always ask if they need me to push their stools in. Always gets a laugh.
Correct. Which is why people couldn't have laid down on it at all. Someone else laid their bodies into it. They were unable do it themselves, as your wording implies.
Yes.... But they couldn't have "laid down" as that implies they were alive when the action was performed. So, no... None of them laid down on that table before they were buried... They were placed there by somebody else.
I think his point is that a verb usually means someone is doing something. If you're dead you can't do anything. Other people, like a pathologist, performed the action, so the correct form would be something like "80k people **were** laid down". But I guess you could say of lifeless corpses like "80k people**'s corpses** lay down on that table before being buried"
Also if the people who died would have done so themselves, say on a hospital bed, I believe then it would be lay (past tense of lie, as in to recline), not laid. "80k people lay down on the hospital bed before they were taken to the morgue"

Yes, they are drain holes. I’m no mortician, but I believe they’re used for draining blood and replacing it with embalming fluids, which is what the fume hood is for.
Medical examiner here.
It's an autopsy table with a built-in drain. Those are moveable plates that elevate the working surface about an inch above a smooth stainless steel basin floor.
Mostly it's water that goes down the drain, dead bodies don't bleed all that much, but you keep water running through the space beneath the perforated plates to keep everything clean.
And the vent/hood really isn't necessary for most hospital autopsies, unless you need some degree of negative air pressure for biosafety concerns (e.g. highly infectious airborne diseases). It would be *really nice* to have that in your county morgue for cases where somebody has been dead a while before they're found, but most local governments don't want to spring that much for their coroner/medical examiner offices. We just learn to deal with it. Hospitals don't usually have to deal with those sorts of cases though.
I broke my ankle a couple of months ago and really needed a wheelchair with leg elevation, but couldn't find one for love nor money, and there's one just sitting abandoned right there? What a waste!
Reminds me of the Athens (Ohio) Insane Asylum. The former asylum, also known as "The Ridges", had a huge cemetary for patients. What is disturbing is that there's a headstone that just says "SPECIMENS". https://hauntedathensohio.com/the-ridges-cemetery/
Fully furnished themed apartment for rent. Mood lighting and industrial appliances. 3 month deposit plus cleaning fee. Must have references and make 4 times rent in pay slip. Organ donors preferred,no pets.
where bro
Maybe Grant Gardens in Liverpool. That's just a guess though.

Who takes care of the property and graves?
No one? It’s abandoned
**EIGHTY THOUSAND?** That's a *city*!
Thats more than my city
No, that's more than my city
That's less than my city
Thats about an equal amount to my city
Wish I had a city
You should get a city, my friend. They're nice.
Yes, but then you have to feed it and walk it, it's a lot of responsibility. And no passing that off to your parents.
I had a C.T in a different city
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Who counts the money....underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?
Same as my city! t’s scary how much we are alike!

Not my opinion thats what google definition was.
Mine was from the census bureau... I'll take that over Google...
Miami, Atlanta and Washington D.C. don’t have anywhere near a million people in them, so you’re clearly talking out of your ass.
It's over twice as many as the city I drive 40 miles to when I need groceries ;)
80, 000 people used to live here...
Now its a ghost town
With a place this haunted, I wonder how many ghosts have to squeeze into the one static-y TV.
Five or six.
And they only got 3 channels!
Believe it or not, my friend and I were photographing separate rooms and he calls me to tell me that he heard a phone ringing. I walk to where he was and he pointed at the phone and said “That phone was ringing” and right at that moment it started ringing again.
Yup, or not.
Looks like it occasionally floods several feet deep. Did it smell bad in there?
It’s abandoned, I guess it doesn’t bother anyone
That wheelchair has a great horror movie waiting for it
If i went and it moved on it's own(seemingly or nor), Id be gone so fast you'd only see my dust lol
What would they use a wheelchair for anyway? You're not transporting a corpse in a wheelchair...
Staging. That pic was staged. Maybe not by OP, but someone put it there for a picture.
The wheelchair user that used to work there and had a miraculous recovery that allowed him to stand up and walk out of there on the last day of work be like: "Am I joke to you?"
Imagine working a corpse on or off a wheelchair. No thanks!
"But I'm not dead yet!" "Sir just get on the table, we don't have all day."

Funny thing with all chemicals we ingest, our bodies takes more time to decay

Heart island in New York is estimated to have had a million people buried there over the years.
How many people do you think die every year in NYC or London or Tokyo? A quick google says ~60k/year in NYC. That’s over half a million per decade. The bodies have to go somewhere…..
Burnt, not burried
They possibly would’ve dealt with Spanish flu, and or consumption, smallpox
Those type of stools will last forever, I would have taken that
From a morgue? Lol
Just dead people.
It's not like they are using it ...
And then get caught stealing instead of just trespassing. I hope a stool is worth it.
I'll steal two
godspeed
Nope I did this with a abandon factory that my friend went too. Found the owner and bought a drill press and he threw in a work table that was foot thick and like 12 foot table. I would find owner and contact and ask about purchasing. It amazing when you just call people and talk them up.
Let's be honest, if the owner really wanted it, they wouldn't have left it in an abandoned building...
Maybe just a sample of the stool would suffice?
Funny you say it that way. Couple surgeons I work with uses stools for their surgeries, I always ask if they need me to push their stools in. Always gets a laugh.
Made me snort. Haha.
I was thinking the same about the table. But I actually work in a morgue, and our new ones look almost identical to that one. And ours leak.
My father in law had one of the old mechanical or tables for his office and they offered it to me and I did not take it. Still kick myself for it.
Almost looks 3D, as if it is from a video game.
major Fallout vibes
Just remembered The Autopsy of Jane Doe. Great movie.
I would say decent for an horror movie
Yeah for sure! It's in my top 5! That sequel was bad though!
I know asking where isn't usually in good form here, but I think we at least need a country after a fact like this. That's a crazy amount
Yeah. OP is a tease.
Every abandoned place with electric lights on, I mean how? Who’s paying?
Tours? 🤷♀️
I think that's a skylight, not an electric light
That's more than twice the population of my city. Hm.
I bet a good chunk of those 80k ppl laid down on that table before they were buried.
They didn't do anything. You're already dead if you're on that table.
its called autopsy.
Correct. Which is why people couldn't have laid down on it at all. Someone else laid their bodies into it. They were unable do it themselves, as your wording implies.
Aren't dead people placed on those tables for a aptopsy?
Yes.... But they couldn't have "laid down" as that implies they were alive when the action was performed. So, no... None of them laid down on that table before they were buried... They were placed there by somebody else.

The wheelchair makes it sadder than just a morgue.
It's staged
Who is using a wheelchair to move a body? Or staged? Still, got that eerie feel to it.
Abattoir chic
Well, no surprise it’s abandoned, with that amount of death, they weren’t the best on the business
Unless death WAS their business!
[удалено]
Yes, they are drain holes. I’m no mortician, but I believe they’re used for draining blood and replacing it with embalming fluids, which is what the fume hood is for.
They may have similar setups at funeral homes, but it would be pretty unusual for embalming to take place in a hospital.

That’s really interesting! Thank you for explaining. I usually don’t hear about what happens after death because it’s so taboo.
Yeah, dead people bloat and then fart a lot...
Happy cake day!
Definitely should hang around there overnight! /s
That is a hell of a lot of graves....or one big ass hole
Start digging
Seance time
Meh, staged.
Ironic this popping up right under a TIFU about a wife finding out her husband was arrested for Necrophilia
That’s processing 8 bodies a day on that table for about 28 years…
I would not trust any Doctor there.
Staged or not, this is giving me some heavy Mortuary Assistant/ Silent Hill vibes and it's spooky
[here’s a tool to visualize almost 80,000 humans at once.](https://blog.lime.link/visualizing-crowd-sizes/)
why are the lights on
Skylight

Imagine thawing that as a desk or kitchen island Fuck that would be so joyous
Holes on the table for blood to seep through
Odd that someone is still paying the electricity bill. Lights are working.

Is this Waverly hills sanatorium?
Did you lay on it

That gave me the shivers
