Somebody's Baby

Last night on NPR I heard a story I can't stop thinking about. It starts with Charlie LeDuff, a reporter who gets a call about a body at the base of an elevator shaft encased in ice. He goes on to investigate to see if it a hoax and find the body there exactly as it was described to him (you can listen to the story on All Things Considered). As LeDuff investigates further he discovers that the body has been there for a month and nobody made a move to call the police to try to get the body out or identify it. LeDuff was able to get the police to come after two calls and they exhumed the body and are now waiting to conduct an autopsy when the man thaws out. He has committed to do an obituary for the man. As he said on NPR, "Everybody is somebody's baby, right?"

Here is the original story (warning: it does contain images of the body),Frozen in indifference: Life goes on around body found frozen in vacant Detroit warehouse.
